63 Fire destroyed their young men. Their young women had no one to get married to.
64 Their priests were killed with swords. Their widows weren't able to cry.
65 Then the Lord woke up as if he had been sleeping. He was like a man waking up from the deep sleep caused by wine.
66 He drove his enemies back. He put them to shame that will last forever.
67 He turned his back on the tents of the people of Joseph. He didn't choose to live in the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Instead, he chose to live in the tribe of Judah. He chose Mount Zion, which he loved.
69 There he built his holy place as secure as the heavens. He built it to last forever, like the earth.
