⁷ The path of the righteous is level;^(A)
    you, the Upright One,^(B) make the way of the righteous smooth.^(C)
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,^[a](D)
    we wait^(E) for you;
your name^(F) and renown
    are the desire of our hearts.
⁹ My soul yearns for you in the night;^(G)
    in the morning my spirit longs^(H) for you.
When your judgments^(I) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.^(J)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,^(K)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil^(L)
    and do not regard^(M) the majesty of the Lord.
¹¹ Lord, your hand is lifted high,^(N)
    but they do not see^(O) it.
Let them see your zeal^(P) for your people and be put to shame;^(Q)
    let the fire^(R) reserved for your enemies consume them.

¹² Lord, you establish peace^(S) for us;
    all that we have accomplished you have done^(T) for us.
