He will begin to rule Israel in the power of the Lord.
    Like a shepherd, he will lead his people in the wonderful name of the Lord his God.
And they will live in safety
    because then his greatness will be known all over the world.
    He will bring a time of peace.

Yes, the Assyrian army will come into our country
    and march through our land.[a]
But we have plenty of leaders[b]
    we can send against them.
With swords in hand our leaders will defeat the Assyrians
    and rule the land of Nimrod.[c]
They[d] will save us from the Assyrians
    when they come into our land and march through our territory.
