Isaiah 26:7–15

⁷The way of the just is uprightness;

^gO Most Upright,

You ⁵weigh the path of the just.

⁸Yes, ^hin the way of Your judgments,

O Lord, we have ⁱwaited for You;

The desire of our soul is for Your name

And for the remembrance of You.

^9jWith my soul I have desired You in the night,

Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;

For when Your judgments are in the earth,

The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

^10kLet grace be shown to the wicked,

Yet he will not learn righteousness;

In ^lthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,

And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

¹¹Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, ^mthey will not see.

But they will see and be ashamed

For ⁶their envy of people;

Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

¹²Lord, You will establish peace for us,

For You have also done all our works ⁷in us.

¹³O Lord our God, ⁿmasters besides You

Have had dominion over us;

But by You only we make mention of Your name.

¹⁴They are dead, they will not live;

They are deceased, they will not rise.

Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,

And made all their memory to ^operish.

¹⁵You have increased the nation, O Lord,

You have ^pincreased the nation;

You are glorified;

You have expanded all the ⁸borders of the land.
