Isaiah 26:8-10

Revised Standard Version

⁸ In the path of thy judgments,
    O Lord, we wait for thee;
thy memorial name
    is the desire of our soul.
⁹ My soul yearns for thee in the night,
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks thee.
For when thy judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
¹⁰ If favor is shown to the wicked,
    he does not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals perversely
    and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
