⁷ And he said this of Judah,^[a]
“Hear, O Yahweh, the voice of Judah,
    and bring him to his people;
his own hands strive^[b] for him,
    and may you be a help against^[c] his foes.”
⁸ And of Levi he said,
    “Your Thummim and your Urim
are for your faithful one,^[d]
    whom you tested at Massah;^[e]
you contended with him
    at the waters of Meribah.
⁹ The one saying of his father and of his mother,
    ‘I have not regarded them,’
and his brothers he did not acknowledge,
    and his children^[f] he did not know,
but rather they observed your word,
    and your covenant they kept.
