1 I have a message from God in my heart

concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:

There is no fear of God

before their eyes.

2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves

too much to detect or hate their sin.

3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful;

they fail to act wisely or do good.

4 Even on their beds they plot evil;

they commit themselves to a sinful course

and do not reject what is wrong.

5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,

your justice like the great deep.

You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

1 Transgression speaks to the wicked

deep in his heart;

there is no fear of God

before his eyes.

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes

that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.

3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;

he has ceased to act wisely and do good.

4 He plots trouble while on his bed;

he sets himself in a way that is not good;

he does not reject evil.

5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

your judgments are like the great deep;

man and beast you save, O Lord.

1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,

That there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,

Until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit:

He hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed;

He setteth himself in a way that is not good;

He abhorreth not evil.

5 Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;

And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains;

Thy judgments are a great deep:

O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.

1 Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts.

They have no fear of God at all.

2 In their blind conceit,

they cannot see how wicked they really are.

3 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful.

They refuse to act wisely or do good.

4 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots.

Their actions are never good.

They make no attempt to turn from evil.

5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,

your justice like the ocean depths.

You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.

1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,

When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.

3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;

He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 He devises wickedness on his bed;

He sets himself in a way that is not good;

He does not abhor evil.

5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains;

Your judgments are a great deep;

O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

1 Sin speaks to the wicked in their hearts.

They have no fear of God.

2 They think too much of themselves

so they don’t see their sin and hate it.

3 Their words are wicked lies;

they are no longer wise or good.

4 At night they make evil plans;

what they do leads to nothing good.

They don’t refuse things that are evil.

5 Lord, your love reaches to the heavens,

your loyalty to the skies.

6 Your goodness is as high as the mountains.

Your justice is as deep as the great ocean.

Lord, you protect both people and animals.
