^{68 Ref} But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.

^{69 Ref} And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

^{70 Ref} He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:

^{71 Ref} From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

^{72 Ref} So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. Psalm 79 A Psalm of Asaph.
