Common English Bible CEB
New International Version NIV
1 I know the sinful utterance of the wicked: No fear of God confronts their own eyes,
1
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 because in their own eyes they are slick with talk about their guilt ever being found out and despised.
2
In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.
3 The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest. They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good.
3
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
4 They plot evil even while resting in bed! They commit themselves to a path that is no good. They don't reject what is evil.
4
Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.
5 But your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
5
Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains; your justice is like the deepest sea. LORD, you save both humans and animals.
6
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
