Isaiah 26:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ In the path of your justice, Lord, we wait for you;
with all our being, we long for your name and your acclaim.
⁹     At night I long for you with my whole being;
    my spirit within me watches for you.
When your judgments are at work in the earth,
    those living in the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ When the wicked are favored, they don’t learn righteousness;
    even among those who do right they do wrong,
    and they fail to see the Lord’s majesty.
