Psalms 60
1 To the Overseer. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to 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 Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
3 Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
4 Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
5 That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
6 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
7 Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
8 Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
9 Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
10 Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
11 Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
12 In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
