Psalms 36

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster Of the servant of Yahweh Of David] Sin is the oracle of the wicked in the depthsof his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.	1 Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
2 He sees himself with too flattering an eye to detect and detest his guilt;	2 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 al he says is malicious and deceitful, he has turned his back on wisdom. To get his way	3 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
4 he hatches malicious plots even in his bed; once set on his evil course no wickedness is too much forhim.	4 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love is in the heavens, your constancy reaches to the clouds,	5 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good : but evil he hath not hated.
6 your saving justice is like towering mountains, your judgements like the mighty deep. Yahweh, yousupport both man and beast;	6 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
7 how precious, God, is your faithful love. So the children of Adam take refuge in the shadow of yourwings.	7 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord :
8 They feast on the bounty of your house, you let them drink from your delicious streams;	8 O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
9 in you is the source of life, by your light we see the light.	9 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
10 Maintain your faithful love to those who acknowledge you, and your saving justice to the honest ofheart.	10 For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant overtake me or wicked hands drive me away.	11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
12 There they have fallen, the evil-doers, flung down, never to rise again.	12 Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
	13 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
