Psalms 78:66-72

78:66

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

his enemies
<06862>

in the hinder parts
<0268>_:

he put
<05414> (8804)

them to a perpetual
<05769>

reproach
<02781>_.

78:67

Moreover he refused
<03988> (8799)

the tabernacle
<0168>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

and chose
<0977> (8804)

not the tribe
<07626>

of Ephraim
<0669>_:

78:68

But chose
<0977> (8799)

the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>

which he loved
<0157> (8804)_.

78:69

And he built
<01129> (8799)

his sanctuary
<04720>

like high
<07311> (8802)

[palaces], like the earth
<0776>

which he hath established
<03245> (8804)

for ever
<05769>_.

{established: Heb. founded}

78:70

He chose
<0977> (8799)

David
<01732>

also his servant
<05650>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

him from the sheepfolds
<04356> <06629>_:

78:71

From following
<0310>

the ewes great with young
<05763> (8802)

he brought
<0935> (8689)

him to feed
<07462> (8800)

Jacob
<03290>

his people
<05971>_,

and Israel
<03478>

his inheritance
<05159>_.

{following: Heb. after}

78:72

So he fed
<07462> (8686)

them according to the integrity
<08537>

of his heart
<03824>_;

and guided
<05148> (8686)

them by the skilfulness
<08394>

of his hands
<03709>_.
