Isaiah 26:9

Isaiah 26:9

7 The way of the just is uprightness;
^aO Most Upright,
You¹ weigh the path of the just.

8 Yes, ^ain the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have ^bwaited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.

9 ^aWith my soul I have desired You in the night,
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.

10 ^aLet grace be shown to the wicked,
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In ^bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

11 Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, ^athey will not see.
But they will see and be ashamed
For¹ their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works¹ in us.

13 O Lord our God, ^amasters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
