Psalm 78:61-67
Holman Christian Standard Bible
61 He gave up His strength[a] to captivity
and His splendor to the hand of a foe.(A)
62 He surrendered His people to the sword
because He was enraged with His heritage.(B)
63 Fire consumed His chosen young men,
and His young women had no wedding songs.[b](C)
64 His priests fell by the sword,
but the[c] widows could not lament.[d](D)
65 Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep,
like a warrior from the effects of wine.(E)
66 He beat back His foes;
He gave them lasting shame.(F)
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph
and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
