Psalms 78:62 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:62

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.
