Isaiah 26:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ In the path of your judgements,
    O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and your renown
    are the soul’s desire.
⁹ My soul yearns for you in the night,
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgements are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ If favour is shown to the wicked,
    they do not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness they deal perversely
    and do not see the majesty of the Lord.
