| 1 For 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. | 1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. | 1 [For the choir director; by David, the LORD's servant.] There is an inspired truth about the wicked person who has rebellion in the depths of his heart: He is not terrified of God. | 1 An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: "There is no fear of God before his eyes." | 1 {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of the servant of Jehovah; of David.} The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. | 2 For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it. | 2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. | 2 He flatters himself and does not hate or [even] recognize his guilt. | 2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin. | 2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, even when his iniquity is found to be hateful. | 3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. | 3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. | 3 The words from his mouth are [nothing but] trouble and deception. He has stopped doing what is wise and good. | 3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good. | 3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good. | 4 He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise evil. | 4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. | 4 He invents trouble while lying on his bed and chooses to go the wrong direction. He does not reject evil. | 4 He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil. | 4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil. | 5 Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | 5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. | 5 O LORD, your mercy reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. | 5 Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | 5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. | 6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. | 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, your judgments like the deep ocean. You save people and animals, O LORD. | 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal. | 6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast. | 7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. | 7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. | 7 Your mercy is so precious, O God, that Adam's descendants take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | 7 How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings. | 7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. | 8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. | 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. | 8 They are refreshed with the rich foods in your house, and you make them drink from the river of your pleasure. | 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. | 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. | 9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. | 9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. | 9 Indeed, the fountain of life is with you. In your light we see light. | 9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light. | 9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. | 10 O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. | 10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. | 10 Continue to show your mercy to those who know you and your righteousness to those whose motives are decent. | 10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. | 10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. | 11 Do not let the feet of arrogant people step on me or the hands of wicked people push me away. | 11 Don't let the foot of pride come against me. Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise. | 12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. | 12 Look at the troublemakers who have fallen. They have been pushed down and are unable to stand up again. | 12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. By David. | 12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise. |
