For Levi he said,
‘Let Your Thummim and Urim be with Your pious man.
You tested him at Massah,
You strived with him at the waters of Meribah.’
He said of his father and mother,
    “I have not seen them,”
nor did he acknowledge his brothers
    or recognize his children.
For they observed Your word
    and kept Your covenant.
10 They will teach Jacob Your judgments
    and Israel Your Torah.
They will put incense in your nose
    and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
11 Adonai, bless his resources,
find favor in the work of his hands.
Crush the loins of those
    who rise against him and hate him,
    so they do not rise again.’
12 For Benjamin he said,
‘The beloved of Adonai
    rests securely beside Him.
He shields him all day long.
Between His shoulders he rests.’
