World English Bible Classic
For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of Yahweh.
[1] A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:There is no fear of God before his eyes.
[2] For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
too much to detect and hate his sin.
[3] The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
[4] He plots iniquity on his bed.
He sets himself in a way that is not good.
He doesn’t abhor evil. [5] Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
[6] Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like a great deep.
Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.
[7] How precious is your loving kindness, God!
The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
[8] They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.
You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
[9] For with you is the spring of life.
In your light we will see light.
[10] Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
[11] Don’t let the foot of pride come against me.
Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
[12] There the workers of iniquity are fallen.
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
King James Version
To the chief Musician, H5329 (PielPtc) A Psalm of David H1732 the servant H5650 of the Lord. H3068
[1] The transgression H6588 of the wicked H7563 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) within H7130 my heart, H3820That there is no fear H6343 of God H430 before his eyes. H5869
[2] For he flattereth H2505 (HiphPerf) himself in his own eyes, H5869 until his iniquity H5771 be found H4672 (QalInf) to be hateful. H8130 (QalInf)§
[3] The words H1697 of his mouth H6310 are iniquity H205 and deceit: H4820
He hath left off H2308 (QalPerf) to be wise, H7919 (HiphInf) and to do good. H3190 (HiphInf)
[4] He deviseth H2803 (QalImpf) mischief H205§ upon his bed; H4904
He setteth H3320 (HithImpf) himself in a way H1870 that is not good; H2896
He abhorreth H3988 (QalImpf) not evil. H7451
[5] Thy mercy, H2617 O Lord, H3068 is in the heavens; H8064
And thy faithfulness H530 reacheth unto the clouds. H7834
[6] Thy righteousness H6666 is like the great H410 mountains; H2042§
Thy judgments H4941 are a great H7227 deep: H8415
O Lord, H3068 thou preservest H3467 (HiphImpf) man H120 and beast. H929
[7] How excellent H3368§ is thy lovingkindness, H2617 O God! H430
Therefore the children H1121 of men H120 put their trust H2620 (QalImpf) under the shadow H6738 of thy wings. H3671
[8] They shall be abundantly§ satisfied H7301 (QalImpf) with the fatness H1880 of thy house; H1004
And thou shalt make them drink H8248 (HiphImpf) of the river H5158 of thy pleasures. H5730
[9] For with thee is the fountain H4726 of life: H2416
In thy light H216 shall we see H7200 (QalImpf) light. H216
[10] O continue H4900 (QalImpv)§ thy lovingkindness H2617 unto them that know H3045 (QalActPtc) thee;
And thy righteousness H6666 to the upright H3477 in heart. H3820
[11] Let not the foot H7272 of pride H1346 come H935 (QalImpf) against me,
And let not the hand H3027 of the wicked H7563 remove H5110 (HiphImpf) me.
[12] There are the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity H205 fallen: H5307 (QalPerf)
They are cast down, H1760 (PualPerf) and shall not be able H3201 (QalPerf) to rise. H6965 (QalInf)
