the blessings of my ancestors[fn]

and[fn] the bounty of the ancient hills.[fn]

May they rest on the head of Joseph,

on the brow of the prince of his brothers.

While Moses held up his hand,[fn] Israel prevailed, but whenever he put his hand[fn] down, Amalek prevailed.

He guards the steps[fn] of his faithful ones,

but the wicked perish in darkness,

for a person does not prevail by his own strength.

Saul and Jonathan,

loved and delightful,

they were not parted in life or in death.

They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

The messenger reported to David, “The men gained the advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we counterattacked right up to the entrance of the city gate.

Although Judah became strong among his brothers and a ruler came from him, the birthright was given to Joseph.

For he has stretched out his hand against God

and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.

Why do the wicked continue to live,

growing old and becoming powerful?

God tells them what they have done

and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

They say, “Through our tongues we have power;

our lips are our own ​— ​who can be our master? ”

Iniquities overwhelm me;

only you can atone for our rebellions.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his faithful love

toward those who fear him.

the LORD’s faithfulness endures forever.

Hallelujah!

If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen its edge,

then one must exert more strength;

The LORD advances like a warrior;

he stirs up his zeal like a soldier.

He shouts, he roars aloud,

he prevails over his enemies.

They bent their tongues like their bows;

lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land,

for they proceed from one evil to another,

and they do not take me into account.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

I weep because of these things;

my eyes flow[fn] with tears.

For there is no one nearby to comfort me,

no one to keep me alive.

My children are desolate

because the enemy has prevailed.

“He will make a firm covenant[fn]

with many for one week,

but in the middle of the week

he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.

And the abomination of desolation

will be on a wing of the temple[fn][fn]

until the decreed destruction

is poured out on the desolator.”

I will strengthen the house of Judah

and deliver the house of Joseph.[fn]

I will restore[fn] them

because I have compassion on them,

and they will be

as though I had never rejected them.

For I am the LORD their God,

and I will answer them.

I will strengthen them in the LORD,

and they will march in his name —

this is the LORD’s declaration.
