Psalm 78:65

Verse 65 of 72. The 78th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

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.

66He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

69He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
