English text
God is with us, understand, O ye nations, and submit yourselves: for God is with us.
Give ear, all ye of far countries:
Gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken to pieces.
Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught;
Speak the word, and it shall not stand:
Neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid;
He shall be for a sanctuary;
And I will wait upon the Lord, and I will look for him;
Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me;
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light;
They that dwell in the shadow of death, upon them, hath the light shined;
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given;
And the government shall be upon his shoulder;
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end;
And his name shall be called;
Wonderful, Counsellor;
The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
