Deuteronomy 33:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

O Lord, give heed to Judah,
    and bring him to his people;
strengthen his hands for him,^[a]
    and be a help against his adversaries.

Give to Levi^[b] your Thummim,
    and your Urim to your loyal one,
whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah;
⁹ who said of his father and mother,
    “I regard them not”;
he ignored his kin,
    and did not acknowledge his children.
For they observed your word,
    and kept your covenant.
