וּתְשׁוּעַ֣ת צַ֭דִּיקִים מֵיְהוָ֑ה מָֽ֝עוּזָּ֗ם בְּעֵ֣ת צָרָֽה׃
וַֽיַּעְזְרֵ֥ם יְהוָ֗ה וַֽיְפַ֫לְּטֵ֥ם יְפַלְּטֵ֣ם מֵ֭רְשָׁעִים וְיוֹשִׁיעֵ֑ם כִּי־חָ֥סוּ בֽוֹ׃
O, that the salvation of Yisrael would come from Zion! When the Lord returns the captivity of his people, Yaaqov shall rejoice, Yisrael shall be glad. (Psalms 14:7) And the redemption of the righteous is from the Lord, their stronghold in times of trouble. And the Lord helped them and rescued them; he rescued them from the wicked and saved them because they took refuge in him. (Psalm 37:39-40)
