- Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep, Like a warrior overcome by wine.
- He drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting reproach.
- He also rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
- But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved.
- And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has founded forever.
|
- He also chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds;
- From the care of the ewes with suckling lambs He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.
- So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.
