God Will Protect Jerusalem

20Look 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 pulled up,

and her ropes will never be broken.

21There 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.

22This is because the Lord is our judge.

The Lord makes our laws.

The Lord is our king.

He will save us.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

an untroubled habitation, an immovable tent,

whose stakes will never be plucked up,

nor will any of its cords be broken.

But there the Lord in majesty will be for us

a place of broad rivers and streams,

where no galley with oars can go,

nor majestic ship can pass.

For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;

the Lord is our king; he will save us.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

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.

For the Lord is our judge,

the Lord is our lawgiver,

the Lord is our king;

it is he who will save us.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look at Zion, the city of our festival times.

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;

its tent pegs will not be pulled up

nor will any of its cords be loosened.

For the majestic one, our Lord, will be there,

a place of rivers and broad streams

where ships that are rowed will not go,

and majestic vessels will not pass.

For the Lord is our Judge,

the Lord is our Lawgiver,

the Lord is our King.

He will save us.

NLTNew Living Translation

Instead, you will see Zion as a place of holy festivals.

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.

The Lord will be our Mighty One.

He will be like a wide river of protection

that no enemy can cross,

that no enemy ship can sail upon.

For the Lord is our judge,

our lawgiver, and our king.

He will care for us and save us.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

an undisturbed settlement,

a tent that is not moved.

No one will ever pull out its tent pegs,

and none of its ropes will be torn in two.

Rather, there Yahweh will be mighty for 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.

For Yahweh is our judge; Yahweh is our lawgiver.

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

KJV 1900King James Version

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:

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.

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.

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

The Lord is our king; he will save us.
