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.
Rashi
[With] my soul I longed for You in my exile, which resembles night, to perform these. even [with] my spirit within me I beseeched you I beseeched You for all this. Why? Because, when Your judgments come to the earth, when you execute justice upon the wicked. the inhabitants of the world learn justification They learn to justify Your judgment and to acknowledge Your standards for they see the sinner punished and the righteous receiving a good reward.
