My soul yearns for you at night,
    yes, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn;
When your judgment comes upon the earth,
    the world’s inhabitants learn justice.(A)
10 The wicked, when spared, do not learn justice;
    in an upright land they act perversely,
    and do not see the majesty of the Lord.(B)
11 Lord, your hand is raised high,
    but they do not perceive it;
Let them be put to shame when they see your zeal for your people:
    let the fire prepared for your enemies consume them.(C)

My soul yearns for you in the night;(A)
    in the morning my spirit longs(B) for you.
When your judgments(C) come upon the earth,
    the people of the world learn righteousness.(D)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(E)
    they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(F)
    and do not regard(G) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(H)
    but they do not see(I) it.
Let them see your zeal(J) for your people and be put to shame;(K)
    let the fire(L) reserved for your enemies consume them.
