The Epilogue

26  None like the God of Y e shurun!

Riding the heavens to thy help,

And the skies in His loftiness.

27  The Eternal God is thy refuge,

And beneath are the arms everlasting.

He drove out before thee the foe,

And He said, Destroy!

28  So Israel dwelt securely,

Secluded the fount of Jacob,

On a land of corn and wine,

His heavens too dropped with dew.

29  Happy thou Israel! Who is like thee?

A people saved by the Lord.

[He is] the shield of thy help,

And the sword that exalts thee;

Till thy foes come to thee fawning,

But thou on their heights dost march.

This section follows closely on to Deuteronomy 33:2, with which it may have been originally one poem.
