Psalms 36
1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
In finem, servo Domini ipsi David. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.
Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise [and] to do good.
Verba oris eius iniquitas, et dolus: noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viæ non bonæ, malitiam autem non odivit.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.
Domine in cælo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
7 How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuæ: et torrente voluptatis tuæ potabis eos.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Quoniam apud te est fons vitæ: et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Prætende 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 the wicked drive me away.
Non veniat mihi pes superbiæ: et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
