26:7 1 The way of the righteous is level,
the path of the righteous that you make is straight. 2
26:8 Yes, as your judgments unfold, 3
O Lord, we wait for you.
We desire your fame and reputation to grow. 4
26:9 I 5 look for 6 you during the night,
my spirit within me seeks you at dawn,
for when your judgments come upon the earth,
those who live in the world learn about justice. 7
26:10 If the wicked are shown mercy,
they do not learn about justice. 8
Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly; 9
they do not see the Lord’s majesty revealed.
