Psalm 78:67

Verse 67 of 72. The 78th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

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.

70He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

71from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
