4Will the workers of iniquity never learn?They devour my people like bread;they refuse to call upon the LORD. 5There they are, overwhelmed with dread,for God is in the company of the righteous. 6You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed,yet the LORD is their shelter.
7Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion!When the LORD restores His captive people,let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
