60
So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;
61
And delivered his strength into captivity, His glory into the adversary`s hand.
62
He also gave his people over to the sword, And was angry with his inheritance.
63
Fire devoured their young men; Their virgins had no wedding song.
64
Their priests fell by the sword; Their widows made no lamentation.
65
Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
66
He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67
Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, And didn`t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68
But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
69
He built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he has established forever.
70
He also chose David his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
71
From following the ewes that have their young he brought him To be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
72
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Psalm 79 A Psalm by Asaph.
