King James Version KJV
The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
1
For the leader. By David, the servant of ADONAI: Crime speaks to the wicked. I perceive this in my heart; before his eyes there is no fear of God.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
2
For, the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy that is, until his wrongs are discovered; then, he is hated.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
3
His words are wrong and deceitful; he has stopped being wise and doing good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
4
He devises trouble as he lies in bed; so set is he on his own bad way that he doesn't hate evil.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
5
ADONAI, in the heavens is your grace; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
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 are like the great deep. You save man and beast, ADONAI.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
7
How precious, God, is your grace! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings,
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 feast on the rich bounty of your house, and you have them drink from the stream of your delights.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
10
Continue your grace to those who know you and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
11
Don't let the foot of the proud tread on me or the hands of the wicked drive me away.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
12
There they lie fallen, those evildoers, flung down and unable to rise.
