the first
part
for himself, For there the
portion
of
the
lawgiver
is
covered,
And
he cometh
`
with '
the heads
of the people; The
righteousness
of
Jehovah
he hath
done,
And His judgments
with
Israel.

securely
; the fountain
of Jacob lives
untroubled
in
a land of grain
and new
wine ,
where
even
the
heavens drip
with
dew.
O

excellency:
And
thine
enemies are
subdued
for
thee
, And thou
on
their high places dost
tread
. '
Blessed

sword in
which
you
boast.
Your
enemies will
cower
before
you
, and you
shall
trample
their high places. ”
