< 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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2 commovisti terram et turbasti eam sana contritiones eius quia commota est
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
3 ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me.
6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo laetabor et partibor Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum metibor
God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
7 meus est Galaad et meus est Manasses et Effraim fortitudo capitis mei Iuda rex meus
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab olla spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae subditi sunt
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."
9 quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.
11 da nobis auxilium de tribulatione et vana salus hominis
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
12 in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
