Psalms 78:63

Compare all

61 ^aAnd delivered His strength into captivity,
And His glory into the enemy’s hand.

62 ^aHe also gave His people over to the sword,
And was furious with His inheritance.

63 The fire consumed their young men,
And ^atheir maidens were not given in marriage.

64 ^aTheir priests fell by the sword,
And ^btheir widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
^aLike a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
