Psalm 78:52-64

English Standard Version

⁵²Then he led out his people ^(A)like sheep
    and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
⁵³^(B)He led them in safety, so that they ^(C)were not afraid,
    but ^(D)the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
⁵⁴And he brought them to his ^(E)holy land,
    ^(F)to the mountain which his right hand had ^(G)won.
⁵⁵He ^(H)drove out nations before them;
    he ^(I)apportioned them for a possession
    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

⁵⁶Yet they ^(J)tested and ^(K)rebelled against the Most High God
    and did not keep his testimonies,
⁵⁷but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
    they twisted like ^(L)a deceitful bow.
⁵⁸For they ^(M)provoked him to anger with their ^(N)high places;
    they ^(O)moved him to jealousy with their ^(P)idols.
⁵⁹When God heard, he was full of ^(Q)wrath,
    and he utterly rejected Israel.
⁶⁰He ^(R)forsook his dwelling at ^(S)Shiloh,
    the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
⁶¹and delivered his ^(T)power to captivity,
    his ^(U)glory to the hand of the foe.
⁶²He ^(V)gave his people over to the sword
    and ^(W)vented his wrath on his heritage.
⁶³^(X)Fire devoured their young men,
    and their young women had no ^(Y)marriage song.
⁶⁴Their ^(Z)priests fell by the sword,
    and their ^(AA)widows made no lamentation.
