64. Priests died by violence,and their widows were not allowed to mourn.
65. At last the Lord woke up as though from sleep;he was like a strong man excited by wine.
66. He drove his enemies backin lasting and shameful defeat.
67. But he rejected the descendants of Joseph;he did not select the tribe of Ephraim.
68. Instead he chose the tribe of Judahand Mount Zion, which he dearly loves.
