Psalms 78:54-65 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

54. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

55. He cast out the nations also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56. Yet they tested and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:

57. But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58. For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59. When God heard this, he was full of anger, and greatly abhorred Israel:

60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was angry with his inheritance.

63. The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.

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

65. Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine.
