With my soul I long for you at night.
Yes, with my spirit I eagerly look for you.
When your guiding principles are on earth,
those who live in the world learn to do what is right.
10 Although the wicked are shown pity,
they do not learn to do what is right.
They do what is wrong in the upright land
and do not see the majesty of the Lord.
11 O Lord, your power is visible, but they do not see it.
They will see how devoted your people are,
and they will be put to shame.
Your burning anger will destroy your enemies.

My soul yearns for you in the night;(A)
    in the morning my spirit longs(B) for you.
When your judgments(C) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.(D)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(E)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(F)
    and do not regard(G) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(H)
    but they do not see(I) it.
Let them see your zeal(J) for your people and be put to shame;(K)
    let the fire(L) reserved for your enemies consume them.
