Psalm 78 — Psalms 78:62–68
He gave his people over also unto the sword,
And was wroth with his inheritance.
And was wroth with his inheritance.
Fire devoured their young men;
And their virgins had no marriage-song.
And their virgins had no marriage-song.
Their priests fell by the sword;
And their widows made no lamentation.
And their widows made no lamentation.
Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,
Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
And he smote his adversaries backward:
He put them to a perpetual reproach.
He put them to a perpetual reproach.
Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph,
And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
But chose the tribe of Judah,
The mount Zion which he loved.
The mount Zion which he loved.
