He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.
67 And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.
67
Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;
68 And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,
68
but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.
69 And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
69
He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.
70 And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,
70
He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;
71 From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.
71
from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance.
72 And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!
72
And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
