 The Blessings of Deuteronomy

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

The Lord shall open the heavens, His treasure-house of rain,

And bless the work of your hands, again and yet again.

You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. (Deuteronomy 28:3)

Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb, the crops of your ground,

Blessed the offspring of your livestock—the calves within the pound.

Your barns will overflow with plenty, your storehouses be filled,

By the hand of God who loves you, whose Word is yet fulfilled.

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock. (Deuteronomy 28:4)

Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed when you go out.

Your journey and your resting shall know no trace of doubt.

The enemy who rises against you shall fall before your face,

For the Lord Himself will fight for you, and grant you victory's embrace.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. (Deuteronomy 28:6)

Blessed shall your basket be, and blessed your kneading bowl.

Blessed shall your provisions be, sustaining mind and soul.

The Lord will grant abundance—prosperity untold,

Establishing you as holy, a treasure to behold.

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. (Deuteronomy 28:8)

You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.

You will be the head, not the tail, exalted in the sun.

For the Lord will make you prosperous, in the land He swore to give,

If you faithfully obey Him, and by His precepts live.

The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom. (Deuteronomy 28:13)

But hear the heart within these words—it is not mere reward,

But covenant relationship with the One who is your Lord.

These blessings flow from walking with Him, delighting in His way,

Not to earn, but to respond to love that brightens every day.

So may these ancient blessings find their dwelling place in you.

Not as magic, not as formula, but as promises so true

To the God who keeps His covenant, who loves and who provides,

In whom all nations of the earth shall find their rest and quiet tides.

Amen.
