My soul hath desired thee in the night: yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee. When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice.
Ibn Ezra
נפשי My soul, that is, the thought of my soul, was בלילה אויתיך I have desired Thee in the night; Yea the thought of my spirit within me, was אשחרך I will seek Thee early. Man has נפש soul and רוח spirit, as I explained in Koheleth. When Thy judgments are, etc. When Thy judgments appear on the earth the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. תבל World. The inhabited part of the earth.
