Isaiah 26:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Lord, we are living the way your laws command us to live.
    We are waiting for you to act.
We want your honor and fame to be known.
⁹ My heart longs for you at night.
    My spirit longs for you in the morning.
You will come and judge the earth.
    Then the people of the world will learn to do what is right.
¹⁰ Sometimes grace is shown to sinful people.
    But they still don’t learn to do what is right.
They keep on doing evil even in a land where others are honest and fair.
    They don’t have any respect for the majesty of the Lord.
