Psalms 60

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. 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 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.

3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.

5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me.

Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure 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. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;

8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."

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 to Edom?

Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?

10 Haven't you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.

nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?

11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
