2 All they that hold it fast are appointed to life;

But such as leave it shall die.

3 Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it:

Walk towards her shining in the presence of the light thereof.

4 Give not thy glory to another,

Nor the things that are profitable unto thee to a strange nation.

O Israel, happy are we:

For the things that are pleasing to God are made known unto us.

5 Be of good cheer, my people,

The memorial of Israel.

6 Ye were sold to the nations,

But not for destruction:

Because ye moved God to wrath,

Ye were delivered unto your adversaries.
