⁷ The Lord is good,^(A)
    a refuge in times of trouble.^(B)
He cares for^(C) those who trust in him,^(D)
8     but with an overwhelming flood^(E)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

⁹ Whatever they plot^(F) against the Lord
    he will bring^[a] to an end;
    trouble will not come a second time.
