< 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
“To the chief musician upon Shushan'eduth, a Michtham of David, to teach, When he fought with Aram-naharayim, and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Salt Valley twelve thousand [men].” O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast made a breach in us, thou hast been displeased: restore now unto us [thy favor].
2 commovisti terram et turbasti eam sana contritiones eius quia commota est
Thou hast caused the earth to quake; thou hast split it: heal her breaches; for she is moved.
3 ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of confusion.
4 dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui
Thou hast given to those that fear thee a banner, to elevate themselves, because of the truth. (Selah)
5 salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo laetabor et partibor Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum metibor
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
7 meus est Galaad et meus est Manasses et Effraim fortitudo capitis mei Iuda rex meus
Mine is Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs;
8 Moab olla spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae subditi sunt
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou but over me.
9 quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?
10 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris
Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
11 da nobis auxilium de tribulatione et vana salus hominis
Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
12 in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
Through God shall we do valiantly: and he it is that will tread down our assailants.
