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 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 turbasti 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 conpunctionis
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 diapsalma 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 Sicima 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 Effraim 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 Idumeam extendam calciamentum 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 Idumeam
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti 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 et 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.
