< 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 end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.
Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem: ut fugiant a facie arcus: Ut liberentur dilecti tui:
Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Laetabor, et partibor Sichimam: et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
8 Moab olla spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae subditi sunt.
Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos: et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
