Psalms 78:53-65

Psalms 78:53-65

[53] And he led  them on safely,  so that they feared  not: but the sea  overwhelmed  their enemies.  [54] And he brought  them to the border  of his sanctuary,  even to this mountain,  which his right hand  had purchased.  [55] He cast out  the heathen  also before  them, and divided  them an inheritance  by line,  and made the tribes  of Israel  to dwell  in their tents.  [56] Yet they tempted  and provoked  the most high  God,  and kept  not his testimonies:  [57] But turned back,  and dealt unfaithfully  like their fathers:  they were turned aside  like a deceitful  bow.  [58] For they provoked him to anger  with their high places,  and moved him to jealousy  with their graven images.  [59] When God  heard  this, he was wroth,  and greatly  abhorred  Israel:  [60] So that he forsook  the tabernacle  of Shiloh,  the tent  which he placed  among men;  [61] And delivered  his strength  into captivity,  and his glory  into the enemy's  hand.  [62] his people  over  also unto the sword;  and was wroth  with his inheritance.  [63] The fire  consumed  their young men;  and their maidens  were not given to marriage.  [64] Their priests  fell  by the sword;  and their widows  made no lamentation.  [65] Then the Lord  awaked  as one out of sleep,  and like a mighty man  that shouteth  by reason of wine.
