from Sinai,
and rose up

went a fiery
law
for them.

he loved
the people;

at thy feet;

of thy words.

And of Levi
he said,
Let thy Thummim
and thy Urim
be with thy holy
one,
whom thou didst prove
at Massah,
and with whom thou didst strive
at the waters
of Meribah;
say
Who said
unto his father
and to his mother,
I have not seen
him; neither did he acknowledge
his brethren,
nor knew
his own children:
for they have observed
thy word,
and kept
thy covenant.

Jacob
thy judgments,
and Israel
thy law:

incense
before
thee, and whole burnt sacrifice
upon thine altar.
Bless,
LORD,
his substance,
and accept
the work
of his hands:
smite
through the loins
of them that rise
against him, and of them that hate
him, that they rise
not
again.
And of Benjamin
he said,
The beloved

And of Joseph
he said,
Blessed
of the LORD
be his land,
for the precious things
of heaven,
for the dew,
and for the deep
that coucheth beneath,
And for the precious
fruits
brought forth by the sun,
and for the precious things
put forth
by the moon,
And for the chief things
of the ancient
mountains,
and for the precious things
of the lasting
hills,
And for the precious things
of the earth
and fulness
thereof, and for the good will
of him that dwelt
in the bush:
let the blessing come
upon the head
of Joseph,
and upon the top of the head
of him that was separated
from his brethren.

His glory
is like the firstling
of his bullock,
and his horns
are like the horns
of unicorns:
with them he shall push
the people
together
to the ends
of the earth:
and they are the ten thousands
of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands
of Manasseh.

and his judgments
with Israel.

with the blessing
of the LORD:

thou the west
and the south.
And of Asher
he said,
Let Asher
be blessed
with children;
let him be acceptable
to his brethren,

his foot
in oil.

shall be iron
and brass;
and as thy days,
so shall thy strength
be.

of Jeshurun,
who rideth
upon the heaven
in thy help,
and in his excellency
on the sky.

God
is thy refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting
arms:
and he shall thrust out
the enemy
from before
thee; and shall say,
Destroy
them.
Israel
then shall dwell
in safety
alone:
the fountain
of Jacob
shall be upon a land
of corn
and wine;
also his heavens
shall drop down
dew.
Happy
art thou, O Israel:
who is like unto thee, O people
saved
by the LORD,
the shield
of thy help,
and who is the sword
of thy excellency!
and thine enemies
shall be found liars
unto thee; and thou shalt tread
upon their high places.
