Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali.

For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.

In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
