2 Turn, O Jacob, and take her;

walk toward the shining of her light.

3 Do not give your glory to another,

or your advantages to an alien people.

4 Happy are we, O Israel,

for we know what is pleasing to God.

Encouragement for Israel

5 Take courage, my people,

who perpetuate Israel’s name!

6 It was not for destruction

that you were sold to the nations,

but you were handed over to your enemies

because you angered God.
