He will stand tall in his shepherd-rule by God’s strength,

centered in the majesty of God-Revealed.

And the people will have a good and safe home,

for the whole world will hold him in respect—

Peacemaker of the world!

5–6And if some bullying Assyrian shows up,

invades and violates our land, don’t worry.

We’ll put him in his place, send him packing,

and watch his every move.

and break through our defenses,

we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,

eight princes to lead us.
