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.
70 And God chose David, his servant,taking him from the sheepfolds.
71 God brought him from shepherding nursing ewesto shepherd his people Jacob,to shepherd his inheritance, Israel.
72 David shepherded them with a heart of integrity;he led them with the skill of his hands.
