Psalms 78:59–65

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.

Selected verse

He also gave his people over to the sword,

and was angry with his inheritance.

63

Fire devoured their young men.

Their virgins had no wedding song.

64

Their priests fell by the sword,

and their widows couldn’t weep.

65

Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep,

like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
