Exegesis
The construct ye-shuat yisrael {יְשׁוּעַת יִשְׂרָאֵל | ye-šûʿat yiś-rāʾēl} “salvation of Israel” functions as the object of desire.
The parallel cola yagel yaakov {יָגֵל יַעֲקֹב | yā-gēl ya-ʿă-qōḇ} and yismah yisrael {יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל | yis-maḥ yiś-rāʾēl} equate Jacob and Israel as the covenant community whose unified joy results from divine reversal.
In context — Psalm 14:7
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of His people , Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
