New Living Translation

Psalms 78:60-67 New Living Translation (NLT)

60. Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh,the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.

61. He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured;he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.

62. He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword,because he was so angry with his own people—his special possession.

63. Their young men were killed by fire;their young women died before singing their wedding songs.

64. Their priests were slaughtered,and their widows could not mourn their deaths.

65. Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep,like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.

66. He routed his enemiesand sent them to eternal shame.

67. But he rejected Joseph’s descendants;he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
