Psalmorum 60
1 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.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILY OF TESTIMONY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, TO TEACH, IN HIS STRIVING WITH ARAM-NAHARAIM AND WITH ARAM-ZOBAH, WHEN JOAB TURNS BACK AND STRIKES EDOM IN THE VALLEY OF SALT—TWELVE THOUSAND. O God, You had cast us off, You had broken us—had been angry! You turn back to us.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
You have caused the land to tremble, You have broken it, Heal its breaches, for it has moved.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
You have shown Your people a hard thing, You have caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
You have given an ensign to those fearing You, To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
5 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That Your beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
God has spoken in His holiness: I exult—I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Gilead [is] Mine, and Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
8 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
Moab [is] My pot for washing, Over Edom I cast My shoe, Shout, concerning Me, O Philistia.
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who brings me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who has led me to Edom?
10 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
Is it not You, O God? Have You cast us off? And do You not go forth, O God, with our hosts?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give to us help from adversity, And the deliverance of man [is] vain.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.]
We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
