## Psalms 78:62-64 in Context (Verses 59–67 KJV)
 
 [59 ](/kjv/psalms/78/59) When God heard *this*, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

 [61 ](/kjv/psalms/78/61) And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy’s hand.
 
 [62 ](/kjv/psalms/78/62) He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
 
 [63 ](/kjv/psalms/78/63) The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.*
 
 [64 ](/kjv/psalms/78/64) Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
 
 [65 ](/kjv/psalms/78/65) Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, *and* like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
 
 [66 ](/kjv/psalms/78/66) And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
 
 [67 ](/kjv/psalms/78/67) Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
