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 leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.
Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem: ut fugiant a facie arcus: Ut liberentur dilecti tui:
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
5 salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
That thy beloved 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 promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Moab olla spei meae. In Idumaeam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenae subditi sunt.
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumaeam?
Who will bring me to 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 God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
12 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
