God chooses Judah: "He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim." The choice of Judah over Joseph (Ephraim/northern tribes) reflects the post-exilic perspective of the psalm; the northern kingdom's destruction is viewed as a consequence of its faithlessness, while Judah—though also unfaithful—is chosen for restoration.
