7  Water shall flow from his buckets,

and his seed shall be ^zin many waters;

his king shall be higher than ^aAgag,

and ^bhis kingdom shall be exalted.

8  God brings him out of Egypt

and is for him like the ^chorns of the wild ox;

he shall ^deat up the nations, his adversaries,

and shall ^ebreak their bones in pieces

and ^fpierce them through with his arrows.

9  He crouched, he lay down like a lion

and ^glike a lioness; who will rouse him up?

^hBlessed are those who bless you,

and cursed are those who curse you.”
