Do the wicked relish their ignorance,
    the wicked ones who consume My people as if they were bread
    and fail to call upon the True God?

They trembled with great fear,
    though they’d never been afraid before,
Because the True God ravaged the bones of those who rose against you.

    When the True God reclaims His people,
    let Jacob celebrate; let Israel rejoice.

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When God restores his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
