  1. Psalm 14:7 sn The deliverance of Israel. This refers metonymically to God, the one who lives in Zion and provides deliverance for Israel.
  2. Psalm 14:7 tn Heb “turns with a turning [toward] his people.” The Hebrew term שְׁבוּת (shevut) is apparently a cognate accusative of שׁוּב (shuv).
  3. Psalm 14:7 tn The verb form is jussive.
  4. Psalm 14:7 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well.

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!(A)
    When the Lord restores(B) his people,
    let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
