Psalm 78:54-64

New International Version

⁵⁴ And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand^(A) had taken.
⁵⁵ He drove out nations^(B) before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;^(C)
    he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.

⁵⁶ But they put God to the test
    and rebelled against the Most High;
    they did not keep his statutes.
⁵⁷ Like their ancestors^(D) they were disloyal and faithless,
    as unreliable as a faulty bow.^(E)
58 They angered him^(F) with their high places;^(G)
    they aroused his jealousy with their idols.^(H)
59 When God heard^(I) them, he was furious;^(J)
    he rejected Israel^(K) completely.
⁶⁰ He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,^(L)
    the tent he had set up among humans.^(M)
61 He sent the ark of his might^(N) into captivity,^(O)
    his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
⁶² He gave his people over to the sword;^(P)
    he was furious with his inheritance.^(Q)
63 Fire consumed^(R) their young men,
    and their young women had no wedding songs;^(S)
64 their priests were put to the sword,^(T)
    and their widows could not weep.
