I shall rule Judah with a rod of Iron
I shall govern from on high
From the Holy Mountain
I shall rule with justice and righteousness.
Stand guard at the City gates
No foe will enter the City
Appoint yourselves watchman.
Men of high renown and good standing
Let them see beyond the City limits
They shall watch and they shall see
The time has come, the hour is at hand
Look our enemy stands far off, waiting
While ever the guardsmen are stood watch ,the City is safe.
So, do not be found asleep.
Do your duty diligently for the enemy is watching for a gap.
Therefore make your walls high and strong
Set for yourselves a time to stand and a time to rest
It is foolish to work without rest, such madness.
One stands guard whilst another sleeps.
In this way the City and its occupants will thank you for your diligence.
Be of good cheer for I shall contend with those who contend with you.
I shall not let you see ruin
Amen.
