| 1For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart; 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, |
| 2For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it. | 2for he is too proud to recognize and give up his sin. |
| 3The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. | 3The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right. |
| 4He plans wickedness upon his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not despise 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 lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches 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 judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. | 6Your justice is like the highest mountains, your fairness like the deepest sea; you preserve mankind and the animal kingdom. |
| 7How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And 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 drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. | 8They are filled with food from your house, and you allow them to drink from the river of your delicacies. |
| 9For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. | 9For you are the one who gives and sustains life. |
| 10O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. | 10Extend your loyal love to your faithful followers, and vindicate the morally upright! |
| 11Let not the foot of pride come upon me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. | 11Do not let arrogant men overtake me, or let evil men make me homeless! |
| 12There the doers of iniquity have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise. | 12I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up! |
