New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)

Psalm

To the director. Of Jehovah’s servant, David.

¹ Transgression speaks to the wicked one deep within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes.

² For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much To detect and hate his error.

³ The words of his mouth are hurtful and deceptive; He shows no insight for doing what is good.

⁴ He plots hurtful schemes even on his bed. He is set on a path that is not good; He does not reject what is bad.

⁵ O Jehovah, your loyal love reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness up to the clouds.

⁶ Your righteousness is like majestic mountains;^*1 Your judgments are like vast, deep waters. Man and beast you preserve,^*2 O Jehovah.

⁷ How precious your loyal love is, O God! In the shadow of your wings, the sons of men take refuge.

⁸ They drink their fill of the rich bounty^*1 of your house, And you cause them to drink of the torrent of your delights.

⁹ With you is the source of life; By your light we can see light.

¹⁰ Continue showing your loyal love to those who know you, And your righteousness, to the upright in heart.

¹¹ Do not let the foot of the haughty tread on me Or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

¹² There the wrongdoers have fallen; They have been knocked down and cannot get up.
