Numbers 24 v.5-9
*********
How goodly are your tents, Israel
And your tabernacles, we tell
As the valleys are they spread forth
They shall extend east, west, south, north
And as gardens by river\'s side
And as trees planted they reside
Planted by the LORD they sure be
As aloes* and cedars, see (*a-o-lees)
He shall the water then pour out
Of his* buckets, without a doubt (*i.e Israel)
And his descendants they shall be
In many waters prosperously
And his king shall too higher be
Than was Agag, king of old he
His kingdom shall be exalted
The LORD God led them and them fed
God did bring them from Egypt\'s land
Delivered them by His strong hand
Israel has strength as unicorn* (*e.g. rhino)
Enemies shall be broken, torn
For Israel is as great lion
Who shall then rouse him, any one?
Blesséd are they that do you bless
Cursed who curses you, we confess
