Liber Psalmorum, 36
0.
0. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD.
1. Magistro chori. David, servi Domini.
1. Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2. Susurrat iniquitas ad impium in medio cordis eius; non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
2. For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3. Quoniam blanditur ipsi in conspectu eius, ut non inveniat iniquitatem suam et oderit.
3. The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4. Verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus, desiit intellegere, ut bene ageret.
4. He plots mischief while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he spurns not evil.
5. Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo, astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
5. Thy steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds.
6. Domine, in caelo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes;
6. Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God, thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast thou savest, O LORD.
7. iustitia tua sicut montes Dei, iudicia tua abyssus multa: homines et iumenta salvabis, Domine.
7. How precious is thy steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings.
8. Quam pretiosa misericordia tua, Deus! Filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt;
8. They feast on the abundance of thy house, and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights.
9. inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae, et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
9. For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light.
10. Quoniam apud te est fons vitae, et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
10. O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee, and thy salvation to the upright of heart!
11. Praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
11. Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12. Non veniat mihi pes superbiae, et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
12. There the evildoers lie prostrate, they are thrust down, unable to rise.
13. Ibi ceciderunt, qui operantur iniquitatem, expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare.
13.
