60  ^sHe forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,

the tent where he dwelt among mankind,

61  and delivered his ^tpower to captivity,

^uhis glory to the hand of the foe.

62  He 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.

64  Their ^vpriests fell by the sword,

and their ^wwidows made no lamentation.

65  Then the Lord ^xawoke as from sleep,

like a strong man shouting because of wine.

66  And he put his adversaries to rout;

he put them to everlasting shame.

67  He rejected the tent of Joseph;

he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68  but he chose the tribe of Judah,

Mount Zion, ^ywhich he loves.

69  He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,

like the earth, which he has founded forever.

70  He ^zchose David his servant

and took him ^afrom the sheepfolds;

71  from following the nursing ewes he brought him

to ^bshepherd Jacob his people,

Israel his inheritance.

72  ^cWith upright heart he shepherded them

and guided them with his skillful hand.
