⁴Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

⁵Orang jahat akan sangat ketakutan, sebab Allah melindungi orang yang taat kepada-Nya.

⁶You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge.

⁶Orang jahat mau merintangi orang miskin, tetapi TUHAN menjadi pelindungnya.

⁷Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

⁷Semoga dari Sion datang keselamatan bagi Israel! Maka keturunan Yakub akan bersukacita bila TUHAN memulihkan keadaan umat-Nya.
