Psalmorum 36
1 In finem, servo Domini ipsi David. Dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, 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 flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3 Verba oris eius iniquitas, et dolus: noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath ceased to be wise, and to do good.
4 Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo: astitit omni viæ non bonæ, malitiam autem non odivit.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Domine in cælo misericordia tua: et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth to the clouds.
6 Iustitia tua sicut montes Dei: iudicia tua abyssus multa. Homines, et iumenta salvabis Domine:
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus. Filii autem hominum, in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuæ: et torrente voluptatis tuæ potabis eos.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Quoniam apud te est fons vitæ: et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Prætende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
O continue thy lovingkindness to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Non veniat mihi pes superbiæ: et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem: expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
