Isaiah 26:7 Context
5¶ For hee bringeth downe them that dwell on high, the loftie citie he layeth it low; he layeth it low, euen to the ground, he bringeth it euen to the dust. 6The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steps of the needie. 7The way of the iust is vprightnesse: thou most vpright, doest weigh the path of the iust. 8Yea in the way of thy Iudgements, O Lord, haue we waited for thee; the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee. 9With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, yea with my spirit within me will I seeke thee early: for when thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learne righteousnesse.
