Isaiah 26:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

With my soul have I desired thee - literally, I ... my soul, in apposition; the faithful Jews here speak individually. The overthrow of the foe, and the restoration of the Jews, are to follow upon prayer on the part of the latter and of all God's people (Isaiah 62:1-4; Isaiah 62:6-7; Psalms 102:13-17).

In the night - (Psalms 63:6; Song of Solomon 3:1.)

The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness - the nations left after judgments shall have been executed on the anti-Christian confederacy (Psalms 58:10-11; Zechariah 14:16).

Isaiah 26:9

9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
