Bible verse
My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 26.
5 For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
6 Feet trample it down—the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor.
7 The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.
8 Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.
9 My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
11 O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!
12 O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
13 O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we confess.
