He will stand and shepherd with the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
    They will dwell securely, for at that time he will be great to the ends of the earth.

This one will be their peace.
    When Assyria invades our land
    and tramples on our citadels,
    we will raise against him seven shepherds
    and eight leaders of men.
They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword
    and the land of Nimrod with a drawn blade.[a]
    He will save us from Assyria
    when it invades our land
    and tramples on our territory.
