| International Standard Version | NET Bible |
| 1An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. | 1For the music director; written by the LORD's servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God, |
| 2He flatters himself too much to discover his transgression and hate it. | 2for he is too proud to recognize and give up his sin. |
| 3The words from his mouth are vain and deceptive. He has abandoned behaving wisely and doing good. | 3The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right. |
| 4He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil. | 4He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil. |
| 5Your gracious love, LORD, reaches to the heavens; your truth extends to the skies. | 5O LORD, your loyal love reaches to the sky; 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 justice is like the highest mountains, your fairness like the deepest sea; you preserve mankind and the animal kingdom. |
| 7How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | 7How precious is your loyal love, O God! The human race finds shelter under 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 with food from your house, and you allow them to drink from the river of your delicacies. |
| 9For with you is a fountain of life, and in your light we will see light. | 9For you are the one who gives and sustains life. |
| 10Send forth your gracious love to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart. | 10Extend your loyal love to your faithful followers, and vindicate the morally upright! |
| 11Do not let the foot of the proud crush me; and do not let the hand of the wicked dissuade me. | 11Do not let arrogant men overtake me, or let evil men make me homeless! |
| 12There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. | 12I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up! |
