Deuteronomy 33:25–29

25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,

and your strength will equal your days.

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,

who rides across the heavens to help you

and on the clouds in his majesty.

27 The eternal God is your refuge,

and underneath are the everlasting arms.

He will drive out your enemies before you,

saying, ‘Destroy them!’

28 So Israel will live in safety;

Jacob will dwell secure

in a land of grain and new wine,

where the heavens drop dew.

29 Blessed are you, Israel!

Who is like you,

a people saved by the Lord?

He is your shield and helper

and your glorious sword.

Your enemies will cower before you,

and you will tread on their heights.”

25 Your bars shall be iron and bronze,

and as your days, so shall your strength be.

26 “There is none like God, O Jeshurun,

who rides through the heavens to your help,

through the skies in his majesty.

27 The eternal God is your dwelling place,

and underneath are the everlasting arms.

And he thrust out the enemy before you

and said, ‘Destroy.’

28 So Israel lived in safety,

Jacob lived alone,

in a land of grain and wine,

whose heavens drop down dew.

29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you,

a people saved by the Lord,

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.”

25 May the bolts of your gates be of iron and bronze;

may you be secure all your days.”

26 “There is no one like the God of Israel.

He rides across the heavens to help you,

across the skies in majestic splendor.

27 The eternal God is your refuge,

and his everlasting arms are under you.

He drives out the enemy before you;

he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’

28 So Israel will live in safety,

prosperous Jacob in security,

in a land of grain and new wine,

while the heavens drop down dew.

29 How blessed you are, O Israel!

Who else is like you, a people saved by the Lord?

He is your protecting shield

and your triumphant sword!

Your enemies will cringe before you,

and you will stomp on their backs!”

25 Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;

As your days, so shall your strength be.

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,

Who rides the heavens to help you,

And in His excellency on the clouds.

27 The eternal God is your refuge,

And underneath are the everlasting arms;

He will thrust out the enemy from before you,

And will say, ‘Destroy!’

28 Then Israel shall dwell in safety,

The fountain of Jacob alone,

In a land of grain and new wine;

His heavens shall also drop dew.

29 Happy are you, O Israel!

Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,

The shield of your help

And the sword of your majesty!

Your enemies shall submit to you,

And you shall tread down their high places.”

25 Your gates will have locks of iron and bronze,

and you will be strong as long as you live.

26 “There is no one like the God of Israel,

who rides through the skies to help you,

who rides on the clouds in his majesty.

27 The everlasting God is your place of safety,

and his arms will hold you up forever.

He will force your enemy out ahead of you,

saying, ‘Destroy the enemy!’

28 The people of Israel will lie down in safety.

Jacob’s spring is theirs alone.

Theirs is a land full of grain and new wine,

where the skies drop their dew.

29 Israel, you are blessed!

No one else is like you,

because you are a people saved by the Lord.

He is your shield and helper,

your glorious sword.

Your enemies will be afraid of you,

and you will walk all over their holy places.”

25 Thy bars shall be iron and brass;

And as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

26 There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun,

Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,

And in his excellency on the skies.

27 The eternal God is thy dwelling-place,

And underneath are the everlasting arms.

And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,

And said, Destroy.

28 And Israel dwelleth in safety,

The fountain of Jacob alone,

In a land of grain and new wine;

Yea, his heavens drop down dew.

29 Happy art thou, O Israel:

Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,

The shield of thy help,

And the sword of thy excellency!

And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee;

And thou shalt tread upon their high places.

25 Iron and brass shall be thy bolts; And thy rest as thy days.

26 There is none like unto the •God of Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heavens to thy help, And in his majesty, upon the clouds. 27 Thy refuge is the God of old, And underneath are the eternal arms; And he shall drive out the enemy from before thee, And shall say, Destroy them! 28 And Israel shall dwell in safety alone, The fountain of Jacob, in a land of corn and new wine; Also his heavens shall drop down dew. 29 Happy art thou, Israel! Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thine excellency? And thine enemies shall come cringing to thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.

25 May the locks and bolts of your gates be made of iron and copper. 

May your strength last as long as you live. 

26 “There’s no one like your God, Jeshurun! 

He rides through the heavens to help you. 

In majesty he rides through the clouds. 

27 The eternal God is your shelter, 

and his everlasting arms support you. 

He will force your enemies out of your way 

and tell you to destroy them. 

28 So Israel will live securely. 

Jacob’s spring will be ⸤left⸥ alone 

in a land of grain and new wine. 

Dew will drip from Israel’s skies. 

29 You are blessed, Israel! 

Who is like you, 

a nation saved by the Lord? 

He is a shield that helps you 

and a sword that wins your victories. 

Your enemies will come crawling to you, 

and you will stomp on their backs.” 

25 May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze,

and your strength last as long as you live.

26 There is none like the God of Jeshurun,

who rides the heavens to your aid,

the clouds in His majesty.

27 The God of old is your dwelling place,

and underneath are the everlasting arms.

He drives out the enemy before you

and commands, “Destroy!”

28 So Israel dwells securely;

Jacob lives untroubled

in a land of grain and new wine;

even his skies drip with dew.

29 How happy you are, Israel!

Who is like you,

a people saved by the Lord?

He is the shield that protects you,

the sword you boast in.

Your enemies will cringe before you,

and you will tread on their backs.

25 Your bars are iron and bronze,

and as your days, so is your strength.

26 There is none like God, O Jeshurun,

who rides through the heavens to your help,

majestic through the clouds.

27 He subdues the ancient gods,

shatters the forces of old;

he drove out the enemy before you

and said, ‘Destroy!’

28 So Israel lives in safety,

untroubled is Jacob’s abode

in a land of grain and wine,

where the heavens drop down dew.

29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you,

a people saved by the Lord,

the shield of your help

and the sword of your triumph!

Your enemies shall come fawning to you,

but you shall tread on their backs.”

25 Your bars are iron and bronze,

and as your days, so is your strength.”

26 “There is no one like God, O, Jeshurun,

who rides through the heavens to your help,

and with his majesty through the skies.

27 The God of ancient time is a hiding place,

and underneath are the arms of eternity,

and he drove out from before you your enemy,

and he said, ‘Destroy them!’

28 So Israel dwells alone and carefree,

the spring of Jacob in a land of grain and wine;

his heavens even drip dew.

29 Blessed are you, O Israel.

Who is like you, a people who is saved by Yahweh,

the shield of your help,

and who is the sword of your triumph,

and your enemies, they shall fawn before you,

and you shall tread on their backs.”

25 The bars of his gates will be made out of iron and bronze.

His strength will last as long as he lives.

26 “There is no one like the God of Israel.

He rides in the heavens to help you.

He rides on the clouds in his glory.

27 God lives forever! You can run to him for safety.

His powerful arms are always there to carry you.

He will drive out your enemies to make room for you.

He’ll say to you, ‘Destroy them!’

28 So Israel will live alone in safety.

Jacob’s spring of water is safe

in a land that has grain and fresh wine.

There the heavens drop their dew.

29 Israel, how blessed you are!

Who is like you?

The Lord has saved you.

He keeps you safe. He helps you.

He’s like a glorious sword to you.

Your enemies will bow down to you in fear.

You will bring them under your control.”

25 “Your locks will be iron and bronze,

And according to your days, so will your leisurely walk be.

26 “There is none like the God of Jeshurun,

Who rides the heavens to your help,

And through the skies in His majesty.

27 “The eternal God is a dwelling place,

And underneath are the everlasting arms;

And He drove out the enemy from before you,

And said, ‘Destroy!’

28 “So Israel dwells in security,

The fountain of Jacob secluded,

In a land of grain and new wine;

His heavens also drop down dew.

29 “Blessed are you, O Israel;

Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,

Who is the shield of your help

And the sword of your majesty!

So your enemies will cringe before you,

And you will tread upon their high places.”
