¹⁸ “I wait with hope for you to rescue me, O Yahweh.

¹⁹ “Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders,

²² “Joseph is a fruitful tree,
    a fruitful tree by a spring,
        with branches climbing over a wall.
²³ Archers provoked him,
    shot at him,
        and attacked him.
²⁴ But his bow stayed steady, and his arms remained limber
    because of the help of the Mighty One of Jacob,
    because of the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
²⁵ because of the El of your father who helps you,
    because of the Shadday who gives you
        blessings from the heavens above,
        blessings from the deep springs below the ground,
        blessings from breasts and womb.
²⁶ The blessings of your father are greater than
    the blessings of the oldest mountains
        and the riches of the ancient hills.
May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the crown of the prince among his brothers.
