64. Their priests fell by the sword,and their widows made no lamentation.
65. Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66. And he put his adversaries to rout;he put them to everlasting shame.
67. He rejected the tent of Joseph;he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68. but he chose the tribe of Judah,Mount Zion, which he loves.
69. He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,like the earth, which he has founded forever.
70. He chose David his servantand took him from the sheepfolds;
71. from following the nursing ewes he brought himto shepherd Jacob his people,Israel his inheritance.
72. With upright heart he shepherded themand guided them with his skillful hand.
