“Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord
    and is full of his blessing;
    he will inherit southward to the lake.”

24 About Asher(B) he said:

“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
    let him be favored by his brothers,
    and let him bathe his feet in oil.(C)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(D)
    and your strength will equal your days.(E)

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(F)
    who rides(G) across the heavens to help you(H)
    and on the clouds(I) in his majesty.(J)
27 The eternal(K) God is your refuge,(L)
    and underneath are the everlasting(M) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(N)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’(O)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(P)
    Jacob will dwell[a] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.(Q)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(R)
    Who is like you,(S)
    a people saved by the Lord?(T)
He is your shield and helper(U)
    and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
    and you will tread on their heights.(V)
