Truly, Lord, we have waited for you on the path of your judgments.
Your name and your renown are what our soul desires.
My soul longs for you during the night.
My spirit within me looks for you early in the morning,
because when your judgments are known on earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn what righteousness is.
10 Although grace is shown to the wicked,
they do not learn righteousness.
They will continue to act unjustly even in a righteous land.
They will not recognize the Lord’s majesty.

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](A)
    we wait(B) for you;
your name(C) and renown
    are the desire of our hearts.
My soul yearns for you in the night;(D)
    in the morning my spirit longs(E) for you.
When your judgments(F) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.(G)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(H)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(I)
    and do not regard(J) the majesty of the Lord.
