Expanded Bible

⁷ The Lord is good,
    ·giving protection [a stronghold; refuge] in ·times [^Lthe day] of trouble.
    He ·knows [cares for] those who trust in him.
⁸ But like a ·rushing [overwhelming] flood,
    he will ·completely destroy [make an end of] ·Nineveh [her place; ^CNineveh was destroyed in 612 bc, after Nahum wrote];
    he will ·chase [pursue] his enemies ·until he kills them [into darkness].

⁹ The Lord will completely destroy
    ·anyone making plans [or whatever you plot/conspire] against him.
    Trouble will not come a second time.
