Deuteronomy 33:28-29

International Standard Version

²⁸So Israel lives in confidence,
    isolated as the fountain of Jacob
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens rain down dew.
²⁹How blessed are you, Israel!
    Who can be like you,
a people delivered by the Lord,
    your shield of help and
        your finely crafted sword.
May your enemies cower before you.
    You will tread down their high places.”
