Isaiah 26:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 The way of the righteous is level;
straight is the path of the righteous that you clear.(A)
8 In the path of your judgments,
O Lord, we have placed hope;
your name and your renown
are the soul’s desire.(B)
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.(C)
Isaiah 26:7-9
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.
