Psalms 60
1 To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.
`In Ebreu thus, To victorie, on the witnessyng of roose, the swete song of Dauid, to teche, `whanne he fauyte ayens Aram of floodis, and Sirie of Soba; and Joab turnede ayen, and smoot Edom in the `valei of salt pittis, twelue thousynde. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomer for lilies, the witnessing of meke and parfit Dauid, to teche, whanne he fauyte ayens Sirie of Mesopotamye, and Soba, and so forth. God, thou hast put awei vs, and thou hast distried vs; thou were wrooth, and thou hast do merci to vs.
2 Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
Thou mouedist the erthe, and thou disturblidist it; make thou hool the sorewis therof, for it is moued.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
Thou schewidist harde thingis to thi puple; thou yauest drynk to vs with the wyn of compunccioun.
4 But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. (Selah)
Thou hast youe a signefiyng to hem that dreden thee; that thei fle fro the face of the bouwe. That thi derlyngis be delyuered;
5 That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
make thou saaf with thi riyt hond `the puple of Israel, and here thou me.
6 God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.
God spak bi his hooli; Y schal be glad, and Y schal departe Siccimam, and Y schal meete the greet valei of tabernaclis.
7 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.
Galaad is myn, and Manasses is myn; and Effraym is the strengthe of myn heed.
8 Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
Juda is my king; Moab is the pot of myn hope. In to Idumee Y schal stretche forth my scho; aliens ben maad suget to me.
9 Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who schal lede me in to a citee maad strong; who schal leede me til in to Ydumee?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Whether not thou, God, that hast put awei vs; and schalt thou not, God, go out in oure vertues?
11 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Lord, yyue thou to vs help of tribulacioun; for the heelthe of man is veyn.
12 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
In God we schulen make vertu; and he schal bringe to nouyt hem that disturblen vs.
