54 He brought them to his holy territory,

to the mountain his right hand acquired.aa

55 He drove out nations before them.ab

He apportioned their inheritance by lot

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.ac

56 But they rebelliously tested the Most High God,

for they did not keep his decrees.ad

57 They treacherously turned away like their ancestors;

they became warped like a faulty bow.ae

58 They enraged him with their high places

and provoked his jealousy with their carved images.a

59 God heard and became furious;

he completely rejected Israel.b

60 He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where he resided among mankind.c

61 He gave up his strength to captivity

and his splendor to the hand of a foe.d
