6 For a child has been born to us,

a son has been given to us.

He shoulders responsibility

and is called:

Extraordinary Strategist,

Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

Prince of Peace.

7 His dominion will be vast

and he will bring immeasurable prosperity.

He will rule on David's throne

and over David's kingdom,

establishing it and strengthening it

by promoting justice and fairness,

from this time forward and forevermore.

The LORD's intense devotion to his people will accomplish this.
