Psalms 36

1 Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Al maestro de coro. De David, siervo de Dios. La rebeldía instiga al impío en su corazón; a sus ojos no hay temor de Dios.

2 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

Por tanto, se lisonjea en su mente de que su culpa no será hallada ni aborrecida.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

Las palabras de su boca son malicia y fraude, no se cuida de entender para obrar bien.

4 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

En su lecho medita la iniquidad; anda siempre en malos caminos. La maldad no le causa horror.

5 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.

Yahvé, tu misericordia toca el cielo; tu fidelidad, las nubes.

6 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

Tu justicia es alta como los montes de Dios; profundos como el mar, tus juicios. Tú, Yahvé, socorres al hombre y al animal.

7 O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

¡Cuán preciosa es, oh Dios, tu largueza! los hijos de los hombres se abrigan a la sombra de tus alas.

8 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

Se sacian con la abundancia de tu casa, y los embriagas en el río de tus delicias.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

Pues en Ti está la fuente de la vida, y en tu luz vemos la luz.

10 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

Despliega tu bondad sobre los que te conocen, y tu justicia sobre los de corazón recto.

11 Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

No me aplaste el pie del soberbio ni me haga vacilar la mano del impío.

12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

He aquí derribados a los obradores de la iniquidad, caídos para no levantarse más.
