And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Visseligen, han elsker Folkene; alle hans hellige ere i din Haand; og de skulle sætte sig ved din Fod, annamme af dine Ord.

9 ham, som sagde til sin Fader og til sin Moder: Jeg saa ham ikke, og han kendte ikke sine Brødre og vidste ikke af sine Sønner. Thi de holdt dit Ord og bevarede din Pagt;
Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew his own children: for they have observed your word, and kept your covenant.

And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 fra de ældgamle Bjerges Top, og med de evige Højes kostelige Gave,
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 med Jordens og dens Fyldes kostelige Gave, og med Naade fra ham, som boede i Tornebusken; den skal komme over Josefs Hoved og over hans Isse, han er en Fyrste iblandt sine Brødre.

28 Og Israel bor tryggelig for sig selv; Jakobs Øje er til et Land med Korn og Vin; ja hans Himle skulle dryppe med Dug.
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be on a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Salig er du, Israel! hvo er som du, et Folk, frelst i Herren, han er din Hjælps Skjold og din Højheds Sværd! og dine Fjender skulle smigre for dig, og du skal træde paa deres Høje.
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like to you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars to you; and you shall tread on their high places.
