O Lord, we have bwaited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
But they will see and be ashamed
For1 their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
| << Isaiah 26:7 | Isaiah 26:9 >> |
