22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough,
A fruitful bough by a well;
His branches run over the wall.

23 The archers have ^abitterly grieved him,
Shot at him and hated him. ‡

25 ^aBy the God of your father who will help you,
^bAnd by the Almighty ^cwho will bless you
With blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb. ‡

26 The blessings of your father
Have excelled the blessings of my ancestors,
^aUp to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills.
^bThey shall be on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. ‡
