New Living Translation NLT
Common English Bible CEB
1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all.
1
I know the sinful utterance of the wicked: No fear of God confronts their own eyes,
2 In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.
2
because in their own eyes they are slick with talk about their guilt ever being found out and despised.
3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good.
3
The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest. They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good.
4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.
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.
5 Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
5
But your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD .
6
Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains; your justice is like the deepest sea. LORD, you save both humans and animals.
7 How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.
7
Your faithful love is priceless, God! Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.
8
They feast on the bounty of your house; you let them drink from your river of pure joy.
9 For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
9
Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light.
10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.
10
Extend your faithful love to those who know you; extend your righteousness to those whose heart is right.
11 Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around.
11
Don't let the feet of arrogant people walk all over me; don't let the hands of the wicked drive me off.
12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.
12
Look—right there is where the evildoers have fallen, pushed down, unable to get up!
