22 Joseph is the boughe of a fruitful vine,
a fruitful boughf by a spring.
His branches climb over the wall.
23 ⌊The archers⌋g fiercely attacked him.
They shot arrows at him and were hostile to him.
24 But his bow remained in a steady position;
⌊his arms⌋h were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob.
From there is the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
25 Because of the God of your father he will help you
and by Shaddaii he will bless you
with the blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,
blessings of the breasts and the womb.
26 The blessings of your father
are superior to the blessings of my ancestors,
to the bounty of the everlasting hills.
May they be on the head of Joseph,
and on the forehead of the prince of his brothers.
