Shalom friends

In Deut.33:5 we have:

 ויהי בישרון מלך בהתאסף ראשי עם יחד שבטי ישראל׃

("and he became king in Yeshurun...")

In the context this verse appears to be ambiguous: it could either refer to Moses (named in verse 4) or refer back to the LORD (verse 2-3). It appears that most translations prefer the latter option. Am I correct that the Hebrew is ambiguous or is their any linguistic (or other) reason to prefer either meaning?

Thanks
