Psalms 36

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the LORD.	1 Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
2 Sin directs the heart of the wicked; their eyes are closed to the fear of God.	2 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 For they live with the delusion: their guilt will not be known and hated.	3 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
4 Empty and false are the words of their mouth; they have ceased to be wise and do good.	4 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well.
5 In their beds they hatch plots; they set out on a wicked way; they do not reject evil.	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 LORD, your love reaches to heaven; your fidelity, to the clouds.	6 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
7 Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; all living creatures you sustain, LORD.	7 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord :
8 How precious is your love, O God! We take refuge in the shadow of your wings.	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 We feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give us drink.	9 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
10 For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light.	10 For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
11 Continue your kindness toward your friends, your just defense of the honest heart.	11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
12 Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me, nor the hand of the wicked disturb me.	12 Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
13 There make the evildoers fall; thrust them down, never to rise.	13 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
