Psalms 78:67
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.
66 He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.
He rejected the tent of Joseph and refused the tribe of Ephraim.
68 But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
69 He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
