Did I hide my sin the way Adam did,

or conceal my guilt behind closed doors

Because I was afraid what people would say,

fearing the gossip of the neighbors so much

That I turned myself into a recluse?

You know good and well that I didn’t.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

if I have concealed my transgressions as others do

by hiding my iniquity in my heart,

because I stood in great fear of the multitude,

and the contempt of families terrified me,

so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—

NIVNew International Version (2011)

if I have concealed my sin as people do,

by hiding my guilt in my heart

because I so feared the crowd

and so dreaded the contempt of the clans

that I kept silent and would not go outside—

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Have I covered my transgressions as others do

by hiding my iniquity in my heart

because I greatly feared the crowds

and because the contempt of the clans terrified me,

so I grew silent and would not go outside?

“Have I tried to hide my sins like other people do,

concealing my guilt in my heart?

Have I feared the crowd

or the contempt of the masses,

so that I kept quiet and stayed indoors?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Have I concealed my transgressions as other human beings

to hide my iniquity in my bosom

because I dreaded the great multitude,

and the contempt of clans terrified me,

so that I kept quiet, I did not go out of the doorway?

KJV 1900King James Version

If I covered my transgressions as Adam,

By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

Did I fear a great multitude,

Or did the contempt of families terrify me,

That I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
