Isaiah 26:9
9 I ▼▼ Heb “with my soul I.” This is a figure for the speaker himself (“I”).
look for ▼ you during the night, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn,
for when your judgments come upon the earth,
those who live in the world learn about justice. ▼
▼ The translation understands צֶדֶק (tsedeq) in the sense of “justice,” but it is possible that it carries the nuance “righteousness,” in which case one might translate, “those who live in the world learn to live in a righteous manner” (cf. NCV).
