Psalm 78:58 Context

◄ Psalm 78:58 ►

They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.

Context

58For they provoked Him with their high places
And aroused His jealousy with their graven images.

59When God heard, He was filled with wrath
And greatly abhorred Israel;

60So that He abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent which He had pitched among men,

61And gave up His strength to captivity
And His glory into the hand of the adversary.

62He also delivered His people to the sword,
And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

63Fire devoured His young men,
And His virgins had no wedding songs.

64His 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 reproach.

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.

69And He built His sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has founded forever.

70He also chose David His servant
And took him from the sheepfolds;

71From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him
To shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.

72So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart,
And guided them with his skillful hands.
