Psalm 78:58

Verse 58 of 72. The 78th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

54He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

55He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,

57but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.

58For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

59When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,

60so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,

61and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

62He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
