Isaiah 26:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ At night I long for you with all my heart;
    when you judge the earth and its people,
    they will all learn what justice is.
¹⁰ Even though you are kind to the wicked,
    they never learn to do what is right.
Even here in a land of righteous people
    they still do wrong;
    they refuse to recognize your greatness.
^11 (A)Your enemies do not know that you will punish them.
Lord, put them to shame and let them suffer;
    let them suffer the punishment you have prepared.
Show them how much you love your people.
