^(b)"The Lord came from Sinai
    and dawned from Seir upon us;^[a]
    he shone forth from Mount Paran;
he came ^(c)from the ten thousands of holy ones,
    with flaming fire^[b] at his right hand.
³ Yes, ^(d)he loved his people,^{[c]
    (e)}all his holy ones were in his^[d] hand;
^(f)so they followed^[e] in your steps,
    receiving direction from you,
⁴ when ^(g)Moses commanded us a law,
    as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
⁵ Thus the Lord^{[f] (h)}became king in ⁽ⁱ⁾Jeshurun,
    when the heads of the people were gathered,
    all the tribes of Israel together.

^6 (j)"Let Reuben live, and not die,
    but let his men be few."

"Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,
    and bring him in to his people.
With your hands contend^[g] for him,
    and be a help against his adversaries."

"Give to Levi^{[h] (l)}your Thummim,
    and your Urim to your godly one,
^(m)whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;
⁹ who said of his father and mother,
    ‘I regard them not';
⁽ⁿ⁾he disowned his brothers
    and ignored his children.
For ^(o)they observed your word
    and kept your covenant.
^10 (p)They shall teach Jacob your rules
    and Israel your law;
^(q)they shall put incense before you
    and ^(r)whole burnt offerings on your altar.
¹¹ Bless, O Lord, his substance,
    and ^(s)accept the work of his hands;
crush the loins of his adversaries,
    of those who hate him, that they rise not again."

"The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.
The High God^[i] surrounds him all day long,
    and dwells between his shoulders."

^(v)"Blessed by the Lord be his land,
    with the choicest gifts of heaven ^(w)above,^[j]
    and of the deep that crouches beneath,
¹⁴ with the choicest fruits of the sun
    and the rich yield of the months,
¹⁵ with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
    and the abundance of ^(x)the everlasting hills,
¹⁶ with the best gifts of the earth and ^(y)its fullness
    and the favor of ^(z)him who dwells in the bush.
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
^17 (aa)A firstborn bull^[k]—he has majesty,
    and his horns are the horns of a ^(ab)wild ox;
with them ^(ac)he shall gore the peoples,
    all of them, to the ends of the earth;
^(ad)they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
    and they are the thousands of Manasseh."

^(ae)"Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    and Issachar, in your tents.
¹⁹ They shall call peoples ^(af)to their mountain;
    there they offer ^(ag)right sacrifices;
for they draw from the abundance of the seas
    and the hidden treasures of the sand."

"Blessed be he who enlarges Gad!
    Gad crouches ^(ai)like a lion;
    he tears off arm and scalp.
^21 (aj)He chose the best of the land for himself,
    for there a commander's portion was reserved;
and ^(ak)he came with the heads of the people,
    with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord,
    and his judgments for Israel."

^(am)"Dan is a lion's cub
    ^(an)that leaps from Bashan."

"O Naphtali, sated with favor,
    and full of the blessing of the Lord,
    ^(ap)possess the lake^[l] and the south."

"Most blessed of sons be Asher;
    let him be the favorite of his brothers,
    and let him ^(ar)dip his foot in oil.

    and as your days, so shall your strength be.

^26 (as)"There is none like God, O ^(at)Jeshurun,
    ^(au)who rides through the heavens to your help,
    through the skies in his majesty.
²⁷ The eternal God is your ^(av)dwelling place,^[m]
    and underneath are the everlasting arms.^[n]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
    and said, ‘Destroy.'
²⁸ So Israel lived in safety,
    ^(aw)Jacob lived ^(ax)alone,^[o]
in a land of grain and wine,
    whose heavens drop down dew.
²⁹ Happy are you, O Israel! ^(ay)Who is like you,
    a people ^(az)saved by the Lord,
^(ba)the shield of your help,
    and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
    and you shall tread upon their backs."
