Psalms 36

1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.

伶長にうたはしめたるヱホバの僕ダビデのうた あしきものの愆はわが心のうちにかたりて その目のまへに神をおそるるの畏あることなしといふ

2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.

かれはおのが邪曲のあらはるることなく憎まるることなからんとて自からその目にて謟る

3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.

その口のことばは邪曲と虚偽となり智をこばみ善をおこなふことを息たり

4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.

かつその寝床にてよこしまなる事をはかり よからぬ途にたちとまりて惡をきらはず

5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.

ヱホバよなんぢの仁慈は天にあり なんぢの眞實は雲にまでおよぶ

6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.

汝のただしきは神の山のごとく なんぢの審判はおほいなる淵なり ヱホバよなんぢは人とけものとを護りたまふ

7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.

神よなんぢの仁慈はたふときかな 人の子はなんぢの翼の蔭にさけどころを得

8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.

なんぢの屋のゆたかなるによりてことごとく飽ことをえん なんぢはその歓樂のかはの水をかれらに飮しめたまはん

9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.

そはいのちの泉はなんぢに在り われらはなんぢの光によりて光をみん

10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.

ねがはくはなんぢを知るものにたえず憐憫をほどこし心なほき者にたえず正義をほどこしたまへ

11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.

たかぶるものの足われをふみ惡きものの今われを逐去ふをゆるし給ふなかれ

12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.

邪曲をおこなふ者はかしこに仆れたり かれら打伏られてまた起ことあたはざるべし
