Tehillim 78:66-72 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

66. And He struck down His enemies behind; He put them to cherpat olam (perpetual reproach).

67. Moreover He rejected the Ohel Yosef, and chose not the Shevet Ephrayim;

68. But chose the Shevet Yehudah, Har Tziyon which He loved.

69. And He built His Mikdash like heavenly heights, like Eretz which He hath established l'olam.

70. He chose Dovid also His Eved, and took him from the mikhle'ot tzon (sheepfolds);

71. From following the nursing ewes He brought him to shepherd Ya'akov His people, and Yisroel His nachalah.

72. So he shepherded them according to the tohm (integrity, guilelessness) of his lev; and led them by the skillfulness of his hands.
