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.”
