8 We follow your will and put our hope in you;you are all that we desire.
9 At night I long for you with all my heart;when you judge the earth and its people,they will all learn what justice is.
10 Even though you are kind to the wicked,they never learn to do what is right.Even here in a land of righteous peoplethey still do wrong;they refuse to recognize your greatness.
11 Your enemies do not know that you will punish them.Lord, put them to shame and let them suffer;let them suffer the punishment you have prepared.Show them how much you love your people.
12 You will give us prosperity, Lord;everything that we achieveis the result of what you do.
13 Lord our God, we have been ruled by others,but you alone are our Lord.
14 Now they are dead and will not live again;their ghosts will not rise,for you have punished them and destroyed them.No one remembers them any more.
