^(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 ^(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^[f] for him,
    and be a help against his adversaries.”

“Give to Levi^{[g] (L)}your Thummim,
    and your Urim to your godly one,
^(M)whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you quarrelled 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^[h] 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,^[i]
    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 favour 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^[j]—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 judgements for Israel.”

^(AM)“Dan is a lion's cub
    ^(AN)that leaps from Bashan.”

“O Naphtali, sated with favour,
    and full of the blessing of the Lord,
    ^(AP)possess the lake^[k] and the south.”

“Most blessed of sons be Asher;
    let him be the favourite of his brothers,
    and let him ^(AR)dip his foot in oil.
²⁵ Your bars shall be iron and bronze,
    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,^[l]
    and underneath are the everlasting arms.^[m]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
    and said, Destroy.
²⁸ So Israel lived in safety,
    ^(AW)Jacob lived ^(AX)alone,^[n]
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.”

¹⁴⁵ With my ^(A)whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
    I will ^(B)keep your statutes.
¹⁴⁶ I call to you; save me,
    that I may observe your testimonies.
¹⁴⁷ I rise before ^(C)dawn and cry for help;
    I ^(D)hope in your words.
¹⁴⁸ My eyes are awake before ^(E)the watches of the night,
    that I may meditate on your promise.
¹⁴⁹ Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
    O Lord, ^(F)according to your justice ^(G)give me life.
¹⁵⁰ They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
    they are far from your law.
¹⁵¹ But ^(H)you are near, O Lord,
    and all your commandments are ^(I)true.
¹⁵² Long have I known from your testimonies
    that you have ^(J)founded them for ever.

¹⁵³ Look on my ^(K)affliction and deliver me,
    for ^(L)I do not forget your law.
^154 (M)Plead my cause and redeem me;
    ^(N)give me life according to your promise!
^155 (O)Salvation is far from the wicked,
    ^(P)for they do not seek your statutes.
^156 (Q)Great is your mercy, O Lord;
    ^(R)give me life according to your rules.
^157 (S)Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
    but I do not ^(T)swerve from your testimonies.
¹⁵⁸ I look at ^(U)the faithless with ^(V)disgust,
    because they do not keep your commands.
¹⁵⁹ Consider how I ^(W)love your precepts!
    ^(X)Give me life according to your steadfast love.
^160 (Y)The sum of your word is ^(Z)truth,
    and every one of your ^(AA)righteous rules endures for ever.

^161 (AB)Princes persecute me ^(AC)without cause,
    but my heart ^(AD)stands in awe of your words.
¹⁶² I ^(AE)rejoice at your word
    like one who ^(AF)finds great spoil.
¹⁶³ I hate and abhor falsehood,
    but I love ^(AG)your law.
¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day I praise you
    for your ^(AH)righteous rules.
¹⁶⁵ Great ^(AI)peace have those who love your law;
    ^(AJ)nothing can make them stumble.
¹⁶⁶ I ^(AK)hope for your salvation, O Lord,
    and I do your commandments.
¹⁶⁷ My soul keeps your testimonies;
    I ^(AL)love them exceedingly.
¹⁶⁸ I keep your precepts and testimonies,
    ^(AM)for all my ways are before you.

¹⁶⁹ Let my ^(AN)cry come before you, O Lord;
    ^(AO)give me understanding ^(AP)according to your word!
¹⁷⁰ Let my plea come before you;
    ^(AQ)deliver me according to your word.
¹⁷¹ My lips will ^(AR)pour forth praise,
    for you ^(AS)teach me your statutes.
¹⁷² My tongue will sing of your word,
    for ^(AT)all your commandments are right.
¹⁷³ Let your hand be ready to help me,
    for I have ^(AU)chosen your precepts.
¹⁷⁴ I ^(AV)long for your salvation, O Lord,
    and your law is my ^(AW)delight.
¹⁷⁵ Let my soul live and praise you,
    and let your rules help me.
¹⁷⁶ I have ^(AX)gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
    for I do not ^(AY)forget your commandments.

60 ^(A)Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and ^(B)the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
² For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
    and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
    and his glory will be seen upon you.
^3 (C)And nations shall come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your rising.
^4 (D)Lift up your eyes all round, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
^(E)your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you shall see and ^(F)be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,^[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    ^(G)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of ^(H)Midian and ^(I)Ephah;
    all those from ^(J)Sheba shall come.
^(K)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
⁷ All the flocks of ^(L)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
    the rams of ^(M)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
^(N)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
    ^(O)and I will beautify my beautiful house.
⁸ Who are these that fly like a cloud,
    and ^(P)like doves to their windows?
⁹ For ^(Q)the coastlands shall hope for me,
    ^(R)the ships of Tarshish first,
^(S)to bring your children from afar,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because ^(T)he has made you beautiful.
^10 (U)Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and ^(V)their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
    but in my favour I have had mercy on you.
^11 (W)Your gates shall be open continually;
    day and night they shall not be shut,
^(X)that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    with their kings led in procession.
^12 (Y)For the nation and kingdom
    that will not serve you shall perish;
    those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
^13 (Z)The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
    the cypress, the plane, and ^(AA)the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
    and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
^14 (AB)The sons of those who afflicted you
    shall come bending low to you,
^(AC)and all who despised you
    shall bow down at your feet;
^(AD)they shall call you the City of the Lord,
    the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
^15 (AE)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
    with no one passing through,
^(AF)I will make you majestic for ever,
    a joy from age to age.
^16 (AG)You shall suck the milk of nations;
    you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that ^(AH)I, the Lord, am your Saviour
    and your Redeemer, ^(AI)the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
    and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
    instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
    ^(AJ)and your taskmasters righteousness.
^18 (AK)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
    devastation or destruction within your borders;
^(AL)you shall call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates Praise.
^19 (AM)The sun shall be no more
    your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
    give you light;^[b]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.^[c]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
    nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and ^(AN)your days of mourning shall be ended.
^21 (AO)Your people shall all be righteous;
    ^(AP)they shall possess the land for ever,
^(AQ)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
    that I might be glorified.^[d]
22 (AR)The least one shall become a clan,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation;
^(AS)I am the Lord;
    in its time I will hasten it.
