Yes, Lord, as we follow the path of your justice, we wait for you to help us. We really want people to know that you are great. We want them to praise your name.

During the night, I think about you a lot. When morning arrives, I want to be near to you in my spirit. When you come to judge people on the earth, then people will understand your justice.

10 If you are kind to wicked people, they will never learn to do what is right. They continue to do wrong things, even in a land where people are honest. They do not see that you are great, Lord.

Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](A)
    we wait(B) for you;
your name(C) and renown
    are the desire of our hearts.
My soul yearns for you in the night;(D)
    in the morning my spirit longs(E) for you.
When your judgments(F) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.(G)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(H)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(I)
    and do not regard(J) the majesty of the Lord.
