## Psalms 78:68-69 in Context (Verses 65–72 KJV)
 
 [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:
 
 [68 ](/kjv/psalms/78/68) But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
 
 [69 ](/kjv/psalms/78/69) And he built his sanctuary like high *palaces*, like the earth which he hath established for ever.*
 
 [70 ](/kjv/psalms/78/70) He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
 
 [71 ](/kjv/psalms/78/71) From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.*
 
 [72 ](/kjv/psalms/78/72) So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
 
[Psalms 77](/kjv/psalms/77) [Psalms 79](/kjv/psalms/79)
