Psalmorum 36
1 Psalmus David, in finem, servo Domini. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
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.
2 Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium.
For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
3 Verba oris eius iniquitas, et dolus: noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
4 Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
6 Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
8 Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae: et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
9 Quoniam apud te est fons vitae: et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
10 Praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Non veniat mihi pes superbiae: et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
12 Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
