4 He will stand and shepherd themp

in the strength of the Lord,

in the majestic name of the Lord his God.

They will live securely,

for then his greatness will extend

to the ends of the earth.q

5 He will be their peace.r

When Assyria invades our land,s

when it marches against our fortresses,

we will raise against it seven shepherds,

even eight leaders of men.
