| 1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes. | 1An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
| 2For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin. | 2He flatters himself too much to discover his transgression and hate it. |
| 3The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing. | 3The words from his mouth are vain and deceptive. He has abandoned behaving wisely and doing good. |
| 4Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil. | 4He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil. |
| 5Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. | 5Your gracious love, LORD, reaches to the heavens; your truth extends to the skies. |
| 6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. | 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your justice is like the great depths of the sea. You deliver both people and animals, LORD. |
| 7How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings! | 7How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. |
| 8They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights. | 8They are refreshed from the abundance of your house; You cause them to drink from the river of your pleasures. |
| 9For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. | 9For with you is a fountain of life, and in your light we will see light. |
| 10Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart. | 10Send forth your gracious love to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart. |
| 11Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 11Do not let the foot of the proud crush me; and do not let the hand of the wicked dissuade me. |
| 12There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise. | 12There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. |
