Young's Literal Translation YLT
Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
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,
1
An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no dread of God before his eyes,
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
2
for in his own eyes he flatters himself [too much] to discover and hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.
3
The words of his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
4
Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good and does not reject evil.
5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
5
Lord, Your faithful love [reaches] to heaven, Your faithfulness to the skies.
6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.
6
Your righteousness is like the highest mountain; Your judgments, like the deepest sea. Lord, You preserve man and beast.
7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
7
God, Your faithful love is so valuable that people take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
8
They are filled from the abundance of Your house; You let them drink from Your refreshing stream,
9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
9
for with You is life's fountain. In Your light we will see light.
10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
10
Spread Your faithful love over those who know You, and Your righteousness over the upright in heart.
11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
11
Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
12
There the evildoers fall; they have been thrown down and cannot rise.
