Isaiah 26:8

New International Version

⁸Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,^[a]^(A)
we wait^(B) for you;
your name^(C) and renown
are the desire of our hearts.

Isaiah 26:8

New King James Version

⁸Yes, ^(A)in the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have ^(B)waited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.

⁸Yes, as your judgments unfold,^[a]
O Lord, we wait for you.
We desire your fame and reputation to grow.^[b]

Isaiah 26:8 tn The Hebrew text has, “yes, the way of your judgments.” The translation assumes that “way” is related to the verb “we wait” as an adverbial accusative (“in the way of your judgments we wait”). מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ (mishpatekha, “your judgments”) could refer to the Lord’s commandments, in which case one might translate, “as we obey your commands.” However, in verse 9 the same form refers to divine acts of judgment on evildoers.
Isaiah 26:8 tn Heb “your name and your remembrance [are] the desire of [our?] being.”
