3. Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one:your splendor and your majesty.

4. In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5. Your arrows are sharp.The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.

Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array.Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.

For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Behold, the Lord the LORD will come as a mighty one,and his arm will rule for him.Behold, his reward is with him,and his recompense before him.

2. Why, when I came, was there no one?when I called, why was there no one to answer?Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem?or have I no power to deliver?Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea.I make the rivers a wilderness:their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.

3. I clothe the heavens with blackness,and I make sackcloth their covering."

4. The Lord the LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught,that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary.He wakens morning by morning,he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Who is this who comes from Edom,with dyed garments from Bozrah?Who this who is glorious in his clothing,marching in the greatness of his strength?"It is I who speak in righteousness,mighty to save."
