Deuteronomy 33:28-29
Contemporary English Version
28 Israel, you will live in safety;
your enemies will be gone.[a]
The dew will fall from the sky,
and you will have plenty
of grain and wine.
29 The Lord has rescued you
and given you more blessings
than any other nation.
He protects you like a shield
and is your majestic sword.
Your enemies will bow in fear,
and you will trample
on their backs.
