ESVEnglish Standard Version

Transgression speaks to the wicked

deep in his heart;

there is no fear of God

before his eyes.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes

that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I have a message from God in my heart

concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:

There is no fear of God

before their eyes.

In their own eyes they flatter themselves

too much to detect or hate their sin.

NLTNew Living Translation

Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.

They have no fear of God at all.

In their blind conceit,

they cannot see how wicked they really are.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

An oracle: the wicked has rebellion

in the midst of his heart.

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flatters himself in his eyes,

hating to detect his iniquity.

KJV 1900King James Version

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,

That there is no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,

Until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
