Isaiah 26:7-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 26:7-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 The way of the just is smooth;
the path of the just you make level.(A)
8 The course of your judgments, Lord, we await;
your name and your memory are the desire of our souls.
9 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.(B)
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.(C)
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.(D)
12 Lord, you will decree peace for us,
for you have accomplished all we have done.(E)
13 Lord, our God, lords other than you have ruled us;
only because of you can we call upon your name.
14 Dead they are, they cannot live,
shades that cannot rise;
Indeed, you have punished and destroyed them,
and wiped out all memory of them.
Isaiah 26:7-14
New International Version
Isaiah 26:7-14
New International Version
7 The path of the righteous is level;(A)
you, the Upright One,(B) make the way of the righteous smooth.(C)
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](D)
we wait(E) for you;
your name(F) and renown
are the desire of our hearts.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;(G)
in the morning my spirit longs(H) for you.
When your judgments(I) come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.(J)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(K)
they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(L)
and do not regard(M) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(N)
but they do not see(O) it.
Let them see your zeal(P) for your people and be put to shame;(Q)
let the fire(R) reserved for your enemies consume them.
12 Lord, you establish peace(S) for us;
all that we have accomplished you have done(T) for us.
13 Lord our God, other lords(U) besides you have ruled over us,
but your name(V) alone do we honor.(W)
14 They are now dead,(X) they live no more;
their spirits(Y) do not rise.
You punished them and brought them to ruin;(Z)
you wiped out all memory of them.(AA)
