Liber Psalmorum

The first book of Psalms, song 36, Vulgate and King James Version

Psalm 36

Vulgate

   1 Magistro chori. David, servi Domini.
   2 Susurrat iniquitas ad impium in medio cordis eius; non est timor Dei ante oculos eius.
   3 Quoniam blanditur ipsi in conspectu eius, ut non inveniat iniquitatem suam et oderit.
   4 Verba oris eius iniquitas et dolus, desiit intellegere, ut bene ageret.
   5 Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo, astitit omni viae non bonae, malitiam autem non odivit.
   6 Domine, in caelo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes;
   7 iustitia tua sicut montes Dei, iudicia tua abyssus multa: homines et iumenta salvabis, Domine.
   8 Quam pretiosa misericordia tua, Deus! Filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt;
   9 inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuae, et torrente voluptatis tuae potabis eos.
   10 Quoniam apud te est fons vitae, et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
   11 Praetende misericordiam tuam scientibus te et iustitiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
   12 Non veniat mihi pes superbiae, et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
   13 Ibi ceciderunt, qui operantur iniquitatem, expulsi sunt nec potuerunt stare.

King James Version

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.

   1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
   2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
   3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
   4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
   5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
   6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
   7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
   8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
   9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
   10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
   11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
   12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
