< Psalms 60 >
1 To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam, cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia. Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
