But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    where there was nothing to dread.(A)
God scattered the bones(B) of those who attacked you;(C)
    you put them to shame,(D) for God despised them.(E)

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When God restores his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

(A)There they are in great fear
Where no fear was,
For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you;
You have put them to shame,
Because God has despised them.

(B)Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back [a]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
