< Psalms 60 >

1 For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
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 You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
3 You have shown your people hard things: you has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
4 You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
5 That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
8 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
10 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
12 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
