¹ He drove His enemies backward; He subjected them to lasting shame and dishonor.

² Moreover, He rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim [in which the tabernacle stood].

³ But He chose the tribe of Judah [as Israel's leader], Mount Zion, which He loved [to replace Shiloh as His capital].

⁴ And He built His sanctuary [exalted] like the heights [of the heavens], Like the earth which He has established forever.

⁵ He also chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds;

⁶ [2] From[3] tending the ewes with nursing young He brought him To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.

⁷ So David shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart; And guided them with his skillful hands.

⁸ A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded [the land of Your people] Your inheritance; They have defiled Your sacred temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

⁹ They have given the dead bodies of Your servants as food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.
