In the biblical context, Zion often represents the city of Jerusalem, a symbol of God's presence and protection. The imagery of trembling suggests a divine intervention that causes fear among those who oppose God's people. This can be connected to various instances in the Old Testament where God instills fear in the hearts of Israel's enemies, such as in Exodus 15:14-16, where the nations tremble at the power of God displayed during the Exodus. The "there" indicates a specific location, likely referring to the site of God's deliverance or judgment, emphasizing the tangible reality of God's protection over His people.
