Psalmorum 36
1 Psalmus David, in finem, servo Domini. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
2 Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium.
For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
3 Verba oris eius iniquitas, et dolus: noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
4 Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6 Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
8 Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae: et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
9 Quoniam apud te est fons vitae: et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10 Praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
11 Non veniat mihi pes superbiae: et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
12 Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
