New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all.
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 blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.
2
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse 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 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil.
4
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
5 Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
5
O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto 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
Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
7 How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter 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 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting 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 you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see.
9
For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
10 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts.
10
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around.
11
Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
12 Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.
12
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
