Psalms 78:60-68
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 78
60So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, The tent which He had pitched among people, 61And He gave up His strength to captivity And His glory into the hand of the enemy. 62He also turned His people over to the sword, And was filled with wrath at His inheritance. 63Fire devoured His young men, And His virgins had no wedding songs. 64 His priests fell by the sword, And His widows could not weep. 65Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a warrior overcome by wine. 66He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting disgrace. 67He also rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, 68But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 78
60He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he resided among mankind. 61He gave up his strength to captivity and his splendor to the hand of a foe. 62He surrendered his people to the sword because he was enraged with his heritage. 63Fire consumed his chosen young men, and his young women had no wedding songs.
64His priests fell by the sword, and the widows could not lament.
65The Lord awoke as if from sleep, like a warrior from the effects of wine.
66He beat back his foes; he gave them lasting disgrace.
67He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.
New Living Translation
Chapter 78
60Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people. 61He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands. 62He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword, because he was so angry with his own people — his special possession. 63Their young men were killed by fire; their young women died before singing their wedding songs. 64Their priests were slaughtered, and their widows could not mourn their deaths.
65Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.
66He routed his enemies and sent them to eternal shame.
67But he rejected Joseph’s descendants; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68He chose instead the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which he loved.
English Standard Version
Chapter 78
60He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among mankind, 61and delivered his power to captivity, his glory to the hand of the foe. 62He gave his people over to the sword and vented his wrath on his heritage. 63 Fire devoured their young men, and their young women had no marriage song. 64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation. 65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. 66And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame. 67He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, 68but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.New International Version
Chapter 78
60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among humans. 61He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy. 62He gave his people over to the sword; he was furious with his inheritance. 63Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs;
64their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.
65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.
67Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.
