ECST/CHOR He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob,
Nor has he seen trouble in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them,
And the shout of a king is among them.
For from the top of the mountain I see him,
From the hills I behold him.
Lo, a people dwelling alone,
Not reckoning itself among the nations.
Who can count the dust of Jacob?
Like a lioness it rises up.
And like a lion it lifts itself,
It does not lie down, till it devours the prey
And drinks the blood of the slain.
He has not beheld misfortune in Jacob.
Nor has he seen trouble in Israel.
The Lord their God is with them,
And the shout of a king is among them.
