Adonai is good as
    a refuge in the day of distress,
and He knows those
    who take refuge in Him.
But with an overwhelming flood,
He will make that place a total ruin.
Darkness will pursue His enemies.

What can you scheme against Adonai?
He will make a complete destruction.
Distress will not arise twice.

Footnotes

  1. Nahum 1:9 Or What do you foes plot against the Lord? / He will bring it

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
