New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
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.
1
To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.
2
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
3
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.
4 Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.
4
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
5 Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
5
O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
6
Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
7
How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
8
They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
9
For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
10 Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
10
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
11
Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!
12
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
