< Psalms 36 >

1 For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Psalmus David, in finem, servo Domini. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
2 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium.
3 The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
Verba oris eius iniquitas, et dolus: noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
5 O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
Domine in caelo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
6 Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.
Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
7 How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.
quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
8 They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.
Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae: et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.
Quoniam apud te est fons vitae: et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
10 Extend your mercy to them that 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 pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
Non veniat mihi pes superbiae: et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
12 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
