| 1An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. | 1An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked person: Dread of God has no effect on him. |
| 2He flatters himself too much to discover his transgression and hate it. | 2For with his flattering opinion of himself, he does not discover and hate his iniquity. |
| 3The words from his mouth are vain and deceptive. He has abandoned behaving wisely and doing good. | 3The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good. |
| 4He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil. | 4Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not good, and he does not reject evil. |
| 5Your gracious love, LORD, reaches to the heavens; your truth extends to the skies. | 5LORD, your faithful love reaches to heaven, your faithfulness to the clouds. |
| 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. | 6Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea. LORD, you preserve people and animals. |
| 7How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | 7How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. |
| 8They are refreshed from the abundance of your house; You cause them to drink from the river of your pleasures. | 8They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream. |
| 9For with you is a fountain of life, and in your light we will see light. | 9For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light. |
| 10Send forth your gracious love to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart. | 10Spread your faithful love over those who know you, and your righteousness over the upright in heart. |
| 11Do not let the foot of the proud crush me; and do not let the hand of the wicked dissuade me. | 11Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me or the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
| 12There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. | 12There! The evildoers have fallen. They have been thrown down and cannot rise. |
