Psalmorum 36
1 Psalmus David, in finem, servo Domini. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
2 Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius: ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium.
For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
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 show discretion by doing well:
4 Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
6 Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
8 Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae: et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
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 see light.
10 Praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who 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 reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
12 Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
