“The way of the righteous
Is level.
O just one!
You make smooth
The path of the righteous.
Yahweh!
In the path of your judgments,
We wait for you.
Your name
Is the soul’s desire!
Your renown
Is the soul’s desire!
My soul yearns for you
In the night!
My spirit within me
Earnestly seeks you!
When your judgments
Are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world
Will learn righteousness.”
This prayer of Isaiah is waiting on Yahweh to come. Yahweh has made a smooth paved path for the righteous. Following the judgments of Yahweh, he is waiting for him. He knows that Yahweh’s name is great. His soul desires and yearns for Yahweh at night. His spirit is with him. Thus he earnestly seeks Yahweh. He wanted God’s judgments to be known among all the inhabitants of the world, so that they might learn righteousness.
