| 1 | For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God 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 his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin. | 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 wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing. | 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 | Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject 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 | Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness 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 like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. | 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 loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge 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 feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of 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 with You is the fountain of life; 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 | Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in 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 | Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 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 | There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise. | There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. | See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise! | |
