5 But later they will be filled with terror,
for God is on the side of the righteous.[a]
6 They sought to crush the hopes of the poor,[b]
but the Lord is their refuge.
7 Who will accomplish the salvation of Israel
that is to come out of Zion?[c]
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice and Israel will exult.
