Psalms 53:6

I wish the deliverance ¹  of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the well-being of his people, ²  may Jacob rejoice, ³  may Israel be happy! ⁴ 

Ezr 3:11; Ne 12:43; Job 42:10; Ps 14:7; Ps 50:2; Ps 85:1; Ps 106:46-48; Ps 126:1-4; Isa 12:1-3; Isa 12:6; Isa 14:32; Jer 30:18; Jer 31:23; Joe 3:1; Am 9:14

¹ tn This refers metonymically to God, the one who lives in Zion and provides deliverance for Israel.

² tn Heb “turns with a turning [toward] his people.” The Hebrew term שְׁבוּת (shÿvut) is apparently a cognate accusative of שׁוּב (shuv).

³ tn The verb form is jussive.

⁴ tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well.
