| 1 | For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh. A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: 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 he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his 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 iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and 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 plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor 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 kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | 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 mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal. | 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 kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under 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 shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. | 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 spring of life. In your light we will 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 | Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, 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 | Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let 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 workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and 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! | |
