authority rests upon his shoulders,

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.^(A)
7 Great will be his authority,^[a]
    and there shall be endless peace
for the throne of David and his kingdom.
    He will establish and uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
    from this time onward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.^(B)

¹⁷ May his name endure forever,
    his fame continue as long as the sun.
May all nations be blessed in him;^[a]
    may they pronounce him happy.^(A)

⁶ You bestow on him blessings forever;
    you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
