Psalmorum 60
1 Psalmus In finem, Pro his, qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem David in doctrinam, cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriam, et Sobal, et convertit Ioab, et percussit Edom in valle Salinarum duodecim millia. Deus repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos: iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem: ut fugiant a facie arcus: Ut liberentur dilecti tui:
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.
5 salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Laetabor, et partibor Sichimam: et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion 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 is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8 Moab olla spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae subditi sunt.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos: et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
