My soul longs for you throughout the night,
    and my spirit within me seeks your presence.
For when your judgments are revealed to the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn to practice justice.
10 If favor is granted to the wicked,
    they will never learn justice.
In the presence of the upright they will act perversely
    and fail to behold the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is raised high
    but they fail to see it.
Let them be ashamed
    when they behold your zeal for your people;
    let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

My soul yearns for you in the night;(A)
    in the morning my spirit longs(B) for you.
When your judgments(C) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.(D)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(E)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(F)
    and do not regard(G) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(H)
    but they do not see(I) it.
Let them see your zeal(J) for your people and be put to shame;(K)
    let the fire(L) reserved for your enemies consume them.
