^20 (A)Behold Zion, the city of our appointed times;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an ^(B)abode at ease,
^(C)A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its cords ever be torn apart.
²¹ But there the Mighty One, Yahweh, will be for us
A place of ^(D)rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—
²² For Yahweh is our ^(E)judge,
Yahweh is ^(F)our lawgiver,
Yahweh is ^(G)our king;
^(H)He will save us—
²³ Your cords hang slack;
They cannot hold the base of their mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then the ^(I)prey of an abundant spoil will be divided;
^(J)The lame will take the plunder.
²⁴ And no one who dwells there will say, “I am ^(K)sick”;
The people who inhabit ^[a]there will be ^(L)forgiven their iniquity.
