God Will Protect Jerusalem

20 Look at Jerusalem, the city of our festivals.
    Look at Jerusalem, that beautiful place of rest.
It is like a tent that will never be moved.
    The pegs that hold her in place will never be moved.
    Her ropes will never be broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.

But there will be no enemy boats on those rivers.
    No powerful ship will sail on those rivers.

its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(G) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(H)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship(I) will sail them.
