| 1 | TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked || Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes, | Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. | For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes. | |
| 2 | For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, || To find his iniquity to be hated. | For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. | In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin. | |
| 3 | The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, || He ceased to act prudently—to do good. | The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. | The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good. | |
| 4 | He devises iniquity on his bed, || He stations himself on a way not good, || He does not refuse evil.” | He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil. | Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong. | |
| 5 | O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, || Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds. | Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. | Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. | |
| 6 | Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, || Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH. | Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD. | Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals. | |
| 7 | How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, || And the sons of men trust || In the shadow of Your wings. | How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | |
| 8 | They are filled from the fatness of Your house, || And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights. | They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. | They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. | |
| 9 | For a fountain of life [is] with You, || In Your light we see light. | For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. | For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. | |
| 10 | Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, || And Your righteousness to the upright of heart. | Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! | Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. | |
| 11 | Do not let a foot of pride meet me, || And do not let a hand of the wicked move me. | Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. | May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. | |
| 12 | Workers of iniquity have fallen there, || They have been overthrown, || And have not been able to arise! | There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. | See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise! | |
