20 Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;

your eyes will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;

its stakes will never be pulled up,

nor any of its ropes broken.

21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.

It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.

No galley with oars will ride them,

no mighty ship will sail them.

22 For the Lord is our judge,

the Lord is our lawgiver,

the Lord is our king;

it is he who will save us.

Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation,

A tabernacle that shall not be taken down;

Not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed,

Neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us

A place of broad rivers and streams;

Wherein shall go no galley with oars,

Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,

The Lord is our king; he will save us.

You will see Jerusalem, a city quiet and secure.

It will be like a tent whose ropes are taut

and whose stakes are firmly fixed.

He will be like a wide river of protection

that no enemy can cross,

that no enemy ship can sail upon.

22 For the Lord is our judge,

our lawgiver, and our king.

He will care for us and save us.

A tabernacle that will not be taken down;

Nor will any of its cords be broken.

21 But there the majestic Lord will be for us

A place of broad rivers and streams,

In which no galley with oars will sail,

Nor majestic ships pass by

The Lord is our Lawgiver,

The Lord is our King;

He will save us);

Isaiah 33:20–22 — New Century Version (NCV)

the pegs that hold her in place will never be pulled up,

and her ropes will never be broken.

21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.

That land is a place with streams and wide rivers,

but there will be no enemy boats on those rivers;

no powerful ship will sail on them.

22 This is because the Lord is our judge.

The Lord makes our laws.

The Lord is our king.

He will save us.

a place of rivers and broad streams,

a galley ship with oars cannot go in it,

and a mighty ship cannot pass through it.

Yahweh is our king; he is the one who will save us.

Its stakes will never be pulled up.

None of its ropes will be broken.

21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.

It will be like a place of wide rivers and streams.

No mighty ship will sail on them.

A place of rivers and wide canals

On which no boat with oars will go,

And on which no mighty ship will pass

22 For the Lord is our judge,

The Lord is our lawgiver,

The Lord is our king;

He will save us—
