Psalms 78:61-72 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

61. And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

62. And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

63. The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in nuptial song;

64. Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

65. Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

66. And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.

67. And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

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

69. And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.

70. And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

71. From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

72. And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.
