Psalm 78:54-64
New International Version
Psalm 78:54-64
New International Version
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand(A) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(B) before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(C)
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors(D) they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.(E)
58 They angered him(F) with their high places;(G)
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(H)
59 When God heard(I) them, he was furious;(J)
he rejected Israel(K) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(L)
the tent he had set up among humans.(M)
61 He sent the ark of his might(N) into captivity,(O)
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(P)
he was furious with his inheritance.(Q)
63 Fire consumed(R) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(S)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(T)
and their widows could not weep.
Psalm 78:54-64
King James Version
Psalm 78:54-64
King James Version
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 He gave 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.
