1 To the overseer, to the servant of Jehovah: to David. A song of transgression to the unjust one in the midst of my heart, 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 he made smooth to himself in his eyes, to find his iniquity to hate. 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 vanity and deceit: he ceased to be circumspect, 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 will purpose vanity upon his bed; he will set himself upon a way not good; he will not 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 O Jehovah, thy mercy is in the heavens; thy faithfulness even 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 Thy justice as the mountains of God; thy judgments a great deep: man and cattle thou wilt save, O Jehovah. 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 thy mercy, O God! and the sons of man shall put their trust in the shadow of thy 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 shall satiate from the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt give them to drink the torrent of thy 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 thee the fountain of life: in thy light we shall 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 thy mercy to those knowing thee, and thy justice 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 The foot of pride shall not come to me, and the hand of the unjust shall not 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 There they working vanity fell: they were thrust down, and they shall not be able 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!
