63 Fire devoured his young men,and his young women had no wedding songs.
64 God’s priests were killed by the sword,and his widows couldn’t even cry.
65 But then my Lord woke up—as if he’d been sleeping!Like a warrior shaking off wine,
66 God beat back his foes;he made them an everlasting disgrace.
67 God rejected the tent of Josephand didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Instead, he chose the tribe of Judah,the mountain of Zion, which he loves.
69 God built his sanctuary like the highest heavenand like the earth, which he established forever.
