Psalm 78:66-71 New International Version (NIV)

66. He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.

67. Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;

68. but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.

69. He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.

70. He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;

71. from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance.
