Isaiah 26:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ But, Lord, we are waiting
    for your way of justice.
Our souls want to remember
    you and your name.
⁹ My soul wants to be with you at night,
    and my spirit wants to be with you at the dawn of every day.
When your way of justice comes to the land,
    people of the world will learn the right way of living.
¹⁰ Evil people will not learn to do good
    even if you show them kindness.
They will continue doing evil, even if they live in a good world;
    they never see the Lord’s greatness.
