^r“Sit at my right hand,

^suntil I make your enemies your ^tfootstool.”

2  The Lord sends forth ^ufrom Zion

^vyour mighty scepter.

^wRule in the midst of your enemies!

6  ^uFor to us a child is born,

to us ^va son is given;

^wand the government shall be ^xupon¹ his shoulder,

and his name shall be called²

Wonderful ^yCounselor, ^zMighty God,

^aEverlasting ^bFather, Prince of ^cPeace.

7  Of the increase of his government and of peace

^dthere will be no end,

on the throne of David and over his kingdom,

to establish it and to uphold it

^ewith justice and with righteousness

from this time forth and forevermore.

^fThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
