Psalm 78:61

Verse 61 of 72. The 78th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

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.

63Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.

65Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
