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. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to us.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
5 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, 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 exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, 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 doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou 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 vain [is] the deliverance of man.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
