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