< Psalms 36 >

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
2 For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium
3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
4 Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
5 Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
7 How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
8 They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
10 Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
11 Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
12 There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
