The salvation of Israel out of Zion
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. Psalms 14:7
After showing that everyone has gone astray (none doeth good), the psalm longs for Israel's salvation to come out of Zion. That hope is fulfilled in the Deliverer, Jesus Christ, who frees His people from captivity.
