Psalm 78:61-72
New King James Version
61 And delivered His strength into captivity,
And His glory into the enemy’s hand.
62 He also gave His people over to the sword,
And was furious with His inheritance.
63 The fire consumed their young men,
And their maidens were not given in marriage.
64 Their priests fell by the sword,
And their widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.
66 And He beat back His enemies;
He put them to a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which He loved.
69 And He built His sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.
70 He also chose David His servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From following the ewes that had young He brought him,
To shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.
72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart,
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Salmos 78:61-72
Reina Valera Actualizada
61 Entregó su poderío a la cautividad ,
y su gloria en manos del enemigo.
62 También entregó su pueblo
a la espada;
se airó contra su posesión.
63 El fuego devoró a sus jóvenes; sus vírgenes no fueron alabadas.
64 Sus sacerdotes cayeron a espada,
y sus viudas no hicieron lamentación.
65 Entonces se despertó el Señor,
a la manera del que duerme, como un guerrero que grita dominado por el vino.
66 E hirió a sus enemigos haciéndolos
retroceder,
y los puso como afrenta perpetua.
67 Desechó la tienda de José;
no escogió a la tribu de Efraín.
68 Más bien, escogió a la tribu de Judá;
el monte Sion, al cual amó.
69 Allí edificó su santuario como
las alturas;
como la tierra a la cual cimentó para siempre.
70 Eligió a su siervo David ;
lo tomó de los rediles de las ovejas.
71 Lo trajo de detrás de las ovejas
recién paridas
para que apacentase a su pueblo Jacob,
a Israel su heredad.
72 Los apacentó con íntegro corazón; los pastoreó con la pericia de sus manos.
