We have hoped for You eagerly;

Your name—the memory of You—is the desire of our souls.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:9 -

At night [fn]my soul longs for You,

Indeed, [fn]my spirit within me seeks You earnestly;

For when the earth [fn]experiences Your judgments,

The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:10 -

Though the wicked is shown favor,

He does not learn righteousness;

He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,

And does not perceive the majesty of Yahweh.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:11 -

[fn]They behold Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;

Since You have also performed for us all our works.

But through You alone we bring Your name to remembrance.

Therefore You have visited and destroyed them,

And You have made all remembrance of them perish.

You have increased the nation, You are glorified;

You have extended all the borders of the land.

They [fn]could only whisper a prayer;

Your chastening was upon them.

As the [fn]woman with child draws near to the time to give birth,

She writhes and cries out in her pangs of labor,

Thus were we before You, O Yahweh.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:18 -

We were [fn]with child, we writhed in labor;

We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.

We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,

And the inhabitants of the world [fn]were not born.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:19 -

Your dead will live;

[fn]Their corpses will rise.

You who dwell in the dust, awake and shout for joy,

For your dew is as the dew of the [fn]dawn,

And the earth will [fn]give birth to the [fn]departed spirits.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:20 -

Come, my people, enter into your rooms

And close your doors behind you;

Hide for a little [fn]while

Until indignation passes by.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:21 -

For behold, Yahweh is about to come out from His place

To visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth;

And the earth will reveal her bloodshed

And will no longer cover those of hers who were killed.
