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.
To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
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 ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Laetabor, 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. Iuda rex meus:
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
8 Moab olla spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae subditi sunt.
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
10 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos: et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris?
[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
