So He will arise and tend His flock
with the strength of Adonai
    in the majesty of the Name of Adonai His God.
And they will live securely,

    when he treads on our citadels,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
    and eight human princes.

    when he invades our land,
    when he tramples on our territory.
