NIVNew International Version (2011)

God is a righteous judge,

a God who displays his wrath every day.

If he does not relent,

he will sharpen his sword;

he will bend and string his bow.

He has prepared his deadly weapons;

he makes ready his flaming arrows.

Whoever is pregnant with evil

conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.

Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out

falls into the pit they have made.

The trouble they cause recoils on them;

their violence comes down on their own heads.

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;

I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God is a righteous judge

and a God who shows his wrath every day.

If anyone does not repent,

he will sharpen his sword;

he has strung his bow and made it ready.

He has prepared his deadly weapons;

he tips his arrows with fire.

See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,

conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.

He dug a pit and hollowed it out

but fell into the hole he had made.

His trouble comes back on his own head;

his own violence comes down on top of his head.

I will thank the Lord for his righteousness;

I will sing about the name of the Lord Most High.

NLTNew Living Translation

God is an honest judge.

He is angry with the wicked every day.

If a person does not repent,

God will sharpen his sword;

he will bend and string his bow.

He will prepare his deadly weapons

and shoot his flaming arrows.

The wicked conceive evil;

they are pregnant with trouble

and give birth to lies.

They dig a deep pit to trap others,

then fall into it themselves.

The trouble they make for others backfires on them.

The violence they plan falls on their own heads.

I will thank the Lord because he is just;

I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

God is a righteous judge,

and a God who has indignation every day.

If he does not repent, he will sharpen his sword.

He has bent his bow and he has strung it.

And he has prepared for him weapons of death.

He has made his arrows fiery shafts.

See, he travails with evil.

He is pregnant with trouble,

and he gives birth to deception.

He makes a pit and digs it out,

then falls in the trap he has made.

His trouble comes back on his head,

and his violence comes down on his skull.

I will thank Yahweh according to his righteousness,

and I will sing praise to the name of Yahweh, the Most High.

KJV 1900King James Version

God judgeth the righteous,

And God is angry with the wicked every day.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword;

He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,

And hath conceived mischief,

And brought forth falsehood.

He made a pit, and digged it,

And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

His mischief shall return upon his own head,

And his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness:

And will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
