29 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.

Deuteronomy 33
The Man of God Blessed The Children of Israel
1 And this is the
blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before
his death. 2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto
them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of
saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints
are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy
words. 4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of
Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live,
and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the
blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him
unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to
him from his enemies.
8 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; 9 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. 10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and
Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice
upon thine altar. 11 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.
12 And of Benjamin
he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord
shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 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, 14 and for the precious fruits
brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 15
and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things
of the lasting hills, 16 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. 17 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.
18 And of Zebulun he
said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 19 They
shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of
righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of
treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he
said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the
arm with the crown of the head. 21 And he provided the first part for himself, because
there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads
of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with
Israel.
22 And of Dan he
said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali
he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the
Lord: possess thou the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he
said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his
brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 25 Thy shoes shall be iron and
brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
