With my soul I have desired You in the night;
    my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
for when Your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Though favor is shown to the wicked,
    yet he will not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals unjustly
    and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, Your hand is lifted up,
    but they do not see it.
They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
    the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

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.
