< Psalmorum 60 >
1 in finem his qui inmutabuntur in tituli inscriptione David in doctrina cum succendit Syriam Mesopotamiam et Syriam Soba et convertit Ioab et percussit vallem Salinarum duodecim milia Deus reppulisti 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 turbasti 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 conpunctionis
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 diapsalma 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 Sicima 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 Effraim 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 Idumeam extendam calciamentum 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 Idumeam
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti 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 et 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.
