Isaiah 26:9

With my nefesh have I desired thee in the lailah; 1 yes, with my ruach within me will I seek Thee; 1 for when Thy mishpatim are upon ha'aretz, 1 the inhabitants of the tevel will learn tzedek. 1

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

In Context

8Indeed, in the orakh of Thy mishpatim, Hashem, 1 have we waited for Thee; 1 our ta'avat nefesh (yearning of soul) 1 is for Thy Shem, and for the zekher (memory, remembrance) of Thee. 1

10Let grace be shown to the rasha, 1 yet he will not learn tzedek; 1 in the Eretz Nekhochot (Land of Straightforwardness) he will deal unjustly, 1 and will not regard the ge'ut Hashem (majesty, exaltedness of Hashem ). 1

Matthew Henry on Isaiah 26:6-12

The Goodness and Justice of God. ( b. c. 718.) 5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord , have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.… Read the whole commentary →
