Lexicon :: Strong's H1396 - gāḇar

“The blessings of your father

Are greater than the blessings of my ancestors [Abraham and Isaac]

Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills;

They shall be on the head of Joseph,

Even on the crown of the head of him who was the distinguished one and the one who is prince among (separate from) his brothers.

“He guards the feet of His godly (faithful) ones,

But the wicked ones are silenced and perish in darkness;

For a man shall not prevail by might.

“Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely and friends in their lives,

And in their death they were not separated;

They were swifter than eagles,

They were stronger than lions.

“Because he has stretched out his hand against God

And behaves arrogantly against [fn]the Almighty,

“Why do the wicked still live,

Become old, and become mighty in power?

Then He declares to them [the true character of] their deeds

And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly [with presumption and notions of self-sufficiency].

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;

Our lips are our own; who is lord and master over us?”

Wickedness and guilt prevail against me;

Yet as for our transgressions,

You forgive them [removing them from Your sight].

For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],

And the truth of the LORD endures forever.

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

The LORD will go forth like a warrior,

He will stir up His zeal like a man of war;

He will shout out, yes, He will raise a war cry.

He will prevail [mightily] against His enemies.

“They bend their tongue like their bow;

[Their] lies and not truth prevail and grow strong in the land;

For they proceed from evil to evil,

And they do not know and understand and acknowledge Me,” says the LORD.

“I weep for these things;

My eyes overflow with tears,

Because a comforter,

One who could restore my soul, is far away from me.

My children are desolate and perishing,

For the enemy has prevailed.”

“I will strengthen the house of Judah [making it superior],

And I will save the house of Joseph.

I will bring them back [and allow them to live securely],

Because I have had compassion on them.

They will be as though I had not rejected them,

For I am the LORD their God, and I will listen and answer them.

“And I will strengthen Israel in the LORD,

And they will walk [and glory] in His name,” declares the LORD.
