according to your days, so shall be your strength.
26#Ex 15:11; Ps 104:3 There is none like the God of Jeshurun,
who rides through the heavens to help you,
and in His majesty through the skies.

and underneath you are the everlasting arms;
He will drive out the enemy before you,
and will say, “Destroy them.”

the fountain of Jacob will be secluded
in a land of grain and new wine;
its heavens will rain down dew.
29#2Sa 7:23; Ps 115:9–11 Blessed are you, O Israel!
Who is like you,
a people saved by the Lord,
the shield of your help,
who is the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies will cringe before you,
and you will tread upon their high places.
