Isaiah 26:7-12

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.
