Isaiah 26:7-15
English Standard Version
7 The path of the righteous is level;
(A)you make level the way of the righteous.
8 In the path of your judgments,
O Lord, we wait for you;
(B)your name and (C)remembrance
are the desire of our soul.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
(D)For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 (E)If favor is shown to the wicked,
he does not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly
and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
11 O Lord, (F)your hand is lifted up,
but (G)they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
Let (H)the fire for your adversaries consume them.
12 O Lord, you will ordain (I)peace for us,
for you have indeed done for us all our works.
13 O Lord our God,
(J)other lords besides you have ruled over us,
(K)but your name alone we bring to remembrance.
14 They are dead, they will not live;
they are shades, they will not arise;
to that end you have visited them with destruction
and wiped out all remembrance of them.
15 (L)But you have increased the nation, O Lord,
you have increased the nation; you are glorified;
(M)you have enlarged all the borders of the land.
