60 ^aSo that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
The tent He had placed among men, ‡

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. ‡

66 And ^aHe beat back His enemies;
He put them to a perpetual reproach. ‡

67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion ^awhich He loved. ‡

69 And He built His ^asanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever. ‡

70 ^aHe also chose David His servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds; ‡

71 From following ^athe ewes that had young He brought him,
^bTo shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance. ‡

72 So he shepherded them according to the ^aintegrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. ‡
