And He will arise and (A)shepherd His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they will [a]remain,
Because [b]at that time He will be great
To the (B)ends of the earth.
This One (C)will be our peace.
When the (D)Assyrian invades our land,
When he tramples on our [c]citadels,
Then we will raise against him
Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.
They will (E)shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
The land of (F)Nimrod at its entrances;
And He will (G)deliver us from the Assyrian
When he attacks our land
And when he tramples our territory.
