< 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.
O Elohim, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
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 hear me.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
Elohim hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, 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 strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph 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 will lead me into Edom?
10 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
Wilt not thou, O Elohim, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O Elohim, which didst not go out with our armies?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
Through Elohim we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
