Psalmorum 60

1 In finem, Pro his, qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David in doctrinam, cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ, et Sobal, et convertit Ioab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia. Deus repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos: iratus es, et misertus es nobis.

For the chief musician; set to Shushan Eduth. A michtam of David, for teaching. When he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. God, you have cast us off; you have broken through our defenses; you have been angry; restore us again.

2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.

You have made the land tremble; you have torn it apart; heal its fissures, for it is shaking.

3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.

You have made your people see difficult things; you have made us drink the wine of staggering.

4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem: ut fugiant a facie arcus: Ut liberentur dilecti tui:

For those who honor you, you have set up a banner to be displayed against those who carry the bow. (Selah)

5 salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.

6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Lætabor, et partibor Sichimam: et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.

God has spoken in his holiness, “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.

7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.

Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.”

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

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?

10 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos: et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris?

But you, God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.

11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.

Give us help against the enemy, for man's help is futile.

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

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
