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.
For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out 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; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
8 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
