54. God brought them to his holy territory,to the mountain that his own strong hand had acquired.
55. God drove out the nations before themand apportioned property for them;he settled Israel’s tribes in their tents.
56. But they tested and defied the Most High God;they didn’t pay attention to his warnings.
57. They turned away, became faithless just like their ancestors;they twisted away like a defective bow.
58. They angered God with their many shrines;they angered him with their idols.
