66 So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep: and like a giant refreshed with wine.
67 He smote his enemies in the hinder parts: and put them to a perpetual shame.
68 He refused the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
69 But chose the tribe of Judah: even the hill of Sion which he loved.
70 And there he built his temple on high: and laid the foundation of it like the ground which he hath made continually.
71 He chose David also his servant: and took him away from the sheep-folds.
72 As he was following the ewes great with young ones he took him: that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
73 So he fed them with a faithful and true heart: and ruled them prudently with all his power.
