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.
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to aperish.
| << Isaiah 26:9 | Isaiah 26:11 >> |
