But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which he loved.

Psalms 78:68 in context
Psalms 78:65–71
65
Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep,
like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
66
He struck his adversaries backward.
He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67
Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph,
and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
69
He built his sanctuary like the heights,
like the earth which he has established forever.
70
He also chose David his servant,
and took him from the sheepfolds;
71
from following the ewes that have their young,
he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people,
and Israel, his inheritance.
