Dear Peter,
I did notice this, but I discounted it because the most natural parallel 
seems to be
the first two part of the verse:
All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered.
In Mt. Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance.
Your observation, however, is well taken and may be the best way to 
understand the
verse.
