O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
 3Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment. (Psa. 60:1‑3)

Psa. 78:60‑72• 60And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,
 61And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;
 62And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:
 63The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in nuptial song;
 64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.
 65Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;
 66And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.

 68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved;
 69And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.
