“Blessed by the Lord be his land,

with the choicest gifts of heaven above,¹

and of the deep that crouches beneath,

25  by the God of your father who will help you,

by the Almighty^{1 s}who will bless you

with blessings of heaven above,

blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,

blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

21  “You mountains of ⁱGilboa,

let there be no dew or rain upon you,

nor fields of offerings!¹

For there the shield of the mighty was defiled,

the shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
