New English Translation

Psalms 78:61-65 New English Translation (NET)

61. He allowed the symbol of his strong presence to be captured;he gave the symbol of his splendor into the hand of the enemy.

62. He delivered his people over to the sword,and was angry with his chosen nation.

63. Fire consumed their young men,and their virgins remained unmarried.

64. Their priests fell by the sword,but their widows did not weep.

65. But then the Lord awoke from his sleep;he was like a warrior in a drunken rage.
