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.

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 eius, 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. Iuda 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!
