I desire you with all my soul in the night;
    also I seek you with my spirit within me,
for when your judgments are upon[a] the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10 Though the wicked person is shown compassion, he does not learn righteousness;

he acts unjustly in the land of uprightness,
    and he does not see the majesty of Yahweh.

11 Yahweh, though your hand reaches high, they do not see it.

Let them see, and let them be ashamed of the zeal of people.
    Indeed, let the fire of your enemies consume them.
