20 Look at ·Jerusalem [L Zion], the city of our festivals.

    ·the pegs that hold her in place [L its stakes] will never be pulled up,
    and 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 [L no galley with oars will go];
    no ·powerful [majestic] ship will sail on them.
