Psalmorum 36
1 in finem servo Domini David dixit iniustus ut delinquat in semet ipso non est timor Dei ante oculos eius
For the leader. Of the servant of the Lord, of David. Sin whispers within the heart of the wicked, who have no dread of God before their eyes.
2 quoniam dolose egit in conspectu eius ut inveniatur iniquitas eius ad odium
It flatters them in their eyes that their sin will not be found out.
3 verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus noluit intellegere ut bene ageret
First, their speech becomes wicked and false, they give up acting wisely and well.
4 iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo adstetit omni viae non bonae malitiam autem non odivit
Then they plot deliberate wrong, take their stand on the wicked way, without the least shrinking from evil.
5 Domine in caelo misericordia tua et veritas tua usque ad nubes
Your love, O Lord, touches the heavens, your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
6 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei iudicia tua abyssus multa homines et iumenta salvabis Domine
Your justice is like the great mountains, your judgments are like the broad sea. Lord, you save people and animals.
7 quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam Deus filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt
How precious your love, O God! All may seek shelter in the shadow of your wings.
8 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae et torrente voluntatis tuae potabis eos
They feast on the fat of your house, they drink of your brook of delights.
9 quoniam apud te fons vitae in lumine tuo videbimus lumen
For with you is the fountain of life, in the light that is yours we see light.
10 praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde
O continue your grace to the faithful, your love to the upright in heart.
11 non veniat mihi pes superbiae et manus peccatoris non moveat me
Let no arrogant foot tread upon me, no wicked hand drive me to exile.
12 ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare
There the workers of wrong lie prostrate, thrust down to rise up no more.
