| 1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. | 1For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
| 2In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. | 2For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it. |
| 3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good. | 3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. |
| 4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil. | 4He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. |
| 5Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. | 5Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. |
| 6Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. | 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. |
| 7How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. | 7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. |
| 8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. | 8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. |
| 9For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. | 9For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. |
| 10Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts. | 10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. |
| 11Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around. | 11Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
| 12Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again. | 12There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise. |
