Yes, in the way of Your judgments,
Adonai, we have waited for You.
Your Name and Your remembrance
    is the desire of our soul.
My soul longs for You at night,
yes, my spirit within me seeks You.
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Though grace is shown to the wicked,
he does not learn righteousness.
Even in a land of uprightness he will act wrongly,
not perceiving the majesty of Adonai.

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.
