6 A child has been born for us.

We have been given a son

who will be our ruler.

His names will be

Wonderful Advisor

and Mighty God,

Eternal Father

and Prince of Peace.

7 *Lk 1.32,33.His power will never end;

peace will last forever.

He will rule David’s kingdom

and make it grow strong.

He will always rule

with honesty and justice.

The Lord All-Powerful

will make certain

that all of this is done.
