< Psalmorum 36 >

1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] 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 dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] 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 gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
