New International Version (NIV)

3The pride of your heart has deceived you,

you who live in the clefts of the rocks1:3 Or of Sela

and make your home on the heights,

you who say to yourself,

‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

3“The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,

The one who lives in the clefts of 1:3 Or Selathe rock,

On the height of his dwelling place,

Who says in his heart,

‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

3The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,

You who live in the clefts of the rock,

In the loftiness of your dwelling place,

Who say in your heart,

‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

3“The pride and arrogance of your heart have deceived you,

You who live in the clefts and lofty security of the rock (Sela),

Whose dwelling place is high,

Who say [boastfully] in your heart,

‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

3The pride of your heart has deceived you,

O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks1:3 Or in the retreats of Sela

whose habitation is the heights,

who say in your heart,

‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

3You live in the safety of the rocks.

You make your home high up in the mountains.

But your proud heart has tricked you.

So you say to yourself,

‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’
