Psalm 78:65-72
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
D
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
like a warrior shouting from the effects of wine.
66 He put his foes to flight;
everlasting shame he dealt them.
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph,
chose not the tribe of Ephraim.
68 [a]God chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which he loved.(A)
69 He built his shrine like the heavens,
like the earth which he founded forever.
70 He chose David his servant,
took him from the sheepfolds.(B)
71 From tending ewes God brought him,
to shepherd Jacob, his people,
Israel, his heritage.(C)
72 He shepherded them with a pure heart;
with skilled hands he guided them.
