Psalms 78:58 in context

Psalms 78:55–61

55

He also drove out the nations before them,

allotted them for an inheritance by line,

and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,

and didn’t keep his testimonies,

57

but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.

They were twisted like a deceitful bow.

Selected verse

For they provoked him to anger with their high places,

and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

59

When God heard this, he was angry,

and greatly abhorred Israel,

60

so that he abandoned 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.
