New International Version (NIV)

11Death and Destruction lie open before the Lord—

how much more do human hearts!

11 Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord,

How much more the hearts of mankind!

11Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the abyss, the place of eternal punishment) lie open before the Lord—

How much more the hearts and inner motives of the children of men. [Job 26:6; Ps 139:8; Rev 9:2; 20:1, 2]

11Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord—

how much more the hearts of men!

11Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah;

How much more then the hearts of the children of men!

11Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the sonnes of men?

11Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh—

how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

11Death and the Grave lie open in front of the Lord.

So human hearts certainly lie open to him!

11The Lord sees clearly into the deep hole of death.

So you can be sure that he knows people's secret thoughts.

11Sheol and destruction [are] before YHWH, || Surely also the hearts of the sons of men.
