2. Turn you, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk towards her shining in the presence of the light thereof.
3. Give not your glory to another, nor the things that are profitable to you to a strange nation.
4. O Israel, happy are we: for the things that are pleasing to God are made known to us.
5. Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
6. You⌃ were sold to the nations, but not for destruction: because you⌃ moved God to wrath, you⌃ were delivered to your adversaries.
7. For you⌃ provoked him that made you by sacrificing to demons, and not to God.
