Psalmorum 36
1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
2 quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium
For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
4 iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
