Isaiah 26:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ In the path of your judgments,
    O Lord, we have placed hope;
your name and your renown
    are the soul’s desire.^(A)
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.^(B)
10 If favor is shown to the wicked,
    they do not learn righteousness;
they corrupt what is upright on the earth
    and do not see the majesty of the Lord.^(C)
