Isaiah 26:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 The (A)way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, (B)make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of (C)Your judgments, Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
(D)Your name, and (E)remembering You, is the desire of our souls.
9 (F)At night [a]my soul longs for You,
Indeed, [b]my spirit within me (G)seeks You diligently;
For when the earth [c]experiences Your judgments,
The inhabitants of the world (H)learn righteousness.

New Living Translation
7 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.
8 Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.
9 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.
