| International Standard Version | New Living Translation |
| 1An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. | 1Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. |
| 2He flatters himself too much to discover his transgression and hate it. | 2In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. |
| 3The words from his mouth are vain and deceptive. He has abandoned behaving wisely and doing good. | 3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. They refuse to act wisely or do good. |
| 4He devises iniquity on his bed and is determined to follow a path that is not good. He does not resist evil. | 4They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil. |
| 5Your gracious love, LORD, reaches to the heavens; your truth extends to the skies. | 5Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond 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 mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. |
| 7How precious is your gracious love, God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings. | 7How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter 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. | 8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. |
| 9For with you is a fountain of life, and in your light we will see light. | 9For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. |
| 10Send forth your gracious love to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart. | 10Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts. |
| 11Do not let the foot of the proud crush me; and do not let the hand of the wicked dissuade me. | 11Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around. |
| 12There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. | 12Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again. |
