God’s People Vindicated

The path of the righteous is level;(A)
You clear a straight path for the righteous.
Yes, Yahweh, we wait for You
in the path of Your judgments.
Our desire is for Your name and renown.(B)
I long for You in the night;(C)
yes, my spirit within me diligently seeks You,
for when Your judgments are in the land,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

But for those who are righteous,
    the way is not steep and rough.
You are a God who does what is right,
    and you smooth out the path ahead of them.
Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
    our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
In the night I search for you;
    in the morning[a] I earnestly seek you.
For only when you come to judge the earth
    will people learn what is right.
