Deuteronomy 33:19-29

19 They call peoples to the mountain; there they offer the right sacrifices; for they suck the affluence of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20 And of Gad he said: Blessed be the enlargement of Gad! Gad lives like a lion; he tears at arm and scalp.
21 He chose the best for himself, for there a commander's allotment was reserved; he came at the head of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his ordinances for Israel.
22 And of Dan he said: Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, sated with favor, full of the blessing of the Lord, possess the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he said: Most blessed of sons be Asher; may he be the favorite of his brothers, and may he dip his foot in oil.
25 Your bars are iron and bronze; and as your days, so is your strength.
26 There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to your help, majestic through the skies.
27 He subdues the ancient gods, shatters the forces of old; he drove out the enemy before you, and said, "Destroy!"
28 So Israel lives in safety, untroubled is Jacob's abode in a land of grain and wine, where the heavens drop down dew.
29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall come fawning to you, and you shall tread on their backs.
