Those who are evil treat my people like bread to be eaten.
    And they never ask for God’s help.
    Don’t they understand what they are doing?

They will be filled with fear—
    a fear like they have never felt before!
People of Israel, you will defeat those who attacked you,
    because God has rejected them.
And he will scatter their bones.

I wish the one who lives on Mount Zion
    would bring victory to Israel!
When God makes Israel successful again,
    the people of Jacob will be very happy;
    the people of Israel will be glad.

God scattered the bones(B) of those who attacked you;(C)

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