Isaiah 26:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ In the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
    we have waited for You eagerly;
the desire of our souls is Your name,
    even Your memory.
⁹ With my soul I have desired You in the night;
    my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
for when Your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ Though favor is shown to the wicked,
    yet he will not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals unjustly
    and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.
