Psalmorum 36
1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself. The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. 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 acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well.
4 iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
He has been considering iniquity on his bed. He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
May arrogant feet not approach me, and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. They have been expelled; they were not able to stand.
