A Prayer for Blessing

The way of the righteous is level and smooth.
You are righteous.[a] You smooth the path for the righteous.
Truly, Lord, we have waited for you on the path of your judgments.
Your name and your renown are what our soul desires.
My soul longs for you during the night.
My spirit within me looks for you early in the morning,
because when your judgments are known on earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn what righteousness is.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 26:7 The grammatical construction of the line is unclear. The word translated you are righteous is the same Hebrew root that means level and smooth. It does not appear in the Greek text and perhaps should be omitted.
