He will stand and shepherd
    in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God;
then they will live securely, because now He will be great
    until the ends of the earth;
    and He will be their peace.

The Remnant of Jacob Delivered

When Assyria enters our land
    and treads through our palaces,
then we will raise up against him seven shepherds
    and eight commanders of men.
They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
    and the land of Nimrod at her gates;
He will rescue us from Assyria,
    when he enters our land
    and when he treads within our border.

And they will live securely, for then his greatness(B)
    will reach to the ends of the earth.

And he will be our peace(C)
    when the Assyrians invade(D) our land
    and march through our fortresses.
We will raise against them seven shepherds,
    even eight commanders,(E)
who will rule[a] the land of Assyria with the sword,
    the land of Nimrod(F) with drawn sword.[b](G)
He will deliver us from the Assyrians
    when they invade our land
    and march across our borders.(H)
