Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

Verse 64 is found in chapter 78 of Psalms. Psalm 78 is an extensive historical and wisdom poem recounting Israel’s unfaithfulness and God’s patience. Its explicit purpose is to transmit divine works to future generations so they will not forget his commandments. The psalm recalls rebellion in the wilderness, unbelief, idolatry, and failure, but also divine compassion. The choice of David as shepherd at the end connects the history of the people with the responsibility of faithful leadership.

Ihre Priester fielen durchs Schwert, und waren keine Witwen, die da weinen sollten.
Sus sacerdotes cayeron a cuchillo, Y sus viudas no lamentaron.
Sus sacerdotes cayeron a espada, y sus viudas no lloraron.
Ses sacrificateurs tombèrent par l'épée, Et ses veuves ne pleurèrent pas.
I suoi sacerdoti erano caduti per la spada; E le sue vedove non avevano pianto.
Os seus sacerdotes caíram à espada, e as suas viúvas não fizeram lamentação.
祭司倒在刀下, 寡婦卻不哀哭。
