Psalms 78:66-72 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

66. Upon his en'mies' hinder partshe made his stroke to fall;And so upon them he did puta shame perpetual.

67. Moreover, he the tabernacleof Joseph did refuse;The mighty tribe of Ephraimhe would in no wise chuse:

68. But he did chuse Jehudah's tribeto be the rest above;And of mount Sion he made choice,which he so much did love.

69. And he his sanctuary builtlike to a palace high,Like to the earth which he did foundto perpetuity.

70. Of David, that his servant was,he also choice did make,And even from the folds of sheepwas pleased him to take:

71. From waiting on the ewes with young,he brought him forth to feedIsrael, his inheritance,his people, Jacob's seed.

72. So after the integrityhe of his heart them fed;And by the good skill of his handsthem wisely governed.
