Psalmorum 36
1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
[For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
4 iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
