Isaiah 26:11 in context
9With 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.

13O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
