ESVEnglish Standard Version
“For his eyes are on the ways of a man,
and he sees all his steps.
There is no gloom or deep darkness
where evildoers may hide themselves.
For God has no need to consider a man further,
that he should go before God in judgment.
He shatters the mighty without investigation
and sets others in their place.
Thus, knowing their works,
he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“His eyes are on the ways of mortals;
he sees their every step.
There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness,
where evildoers can hide.
God has no need to examine people further,
that they should come before him for judgment.
Without inquiry he shatters the mighty
and sets up others in their place.
Because he takes note of their deeds,
he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

NLTNew Living Translation
“For God watches how people live;
he sees everything they do.
No darkness is thick enough
to hide the wicked from his eyes.
We don’t set the time
when we will come before God in judgment.
He brings the mighty to ruin without asking anyone,
and he sets up others in their place.
He knows what they do,
and in the night he overturns and destroys them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man,
and he sees all his steps.
There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow
where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.
Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man
to go to God in the judgment.
He shatters the mighty without investigation,
and he sets others in their place.
Therefore he knows their works,
and he overturns them in the night
so that they are crushed.

KJV 1900King James Version
For his eyes are upon the ways of man,
And he seeth all his goings.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death,
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
For he will not lay upon man more than right;
That he should enter into judgment with God.
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,
And set others in their stead.
Therefore he knoweth their works,
And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
