Psalms 60
1 For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
in finem his qui inmutabuntur in tituli inscriptione David in doctrina cum succendit Syriam Mesopotamiam et Syriam Soba et convertit Ioab et percussit vallem Salinarum duodecim milia Deus reppulisti nos et destruxisti nos iratus es et misertus es nobis
2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
commovisti terram et turbasti eam sana contritiones eius quia commota est
3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis
4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui
5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo laetabor et partibor Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum metibor
7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
meus est Galaad et meus est Manasses et Effraim fortitudo capitis mei Iuda rex meus
8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab olla spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae subditi sunt
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris
11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
da nobis auxilium de tribulatione et vana salus hominis
12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
