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 "The Lily of Testimony." A precious Psalm of David, to instruct. When he waged war with Aram-neharaim, and with Aram-zobah, —and then Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast rejected us—hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?
2 commovisti terram et turbasti eam sana contritiones eius quia commota est
Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered:
3 ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis
Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.
4 dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui
Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. (Selah)
5 salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.
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 apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;
7 meus est Galaad et meus est Manasses et Effraim fortitudo capitis mei Iuda rex meus
Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;
8 Moab olla spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae subditi sunt
Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.
9 quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!
10 nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris
Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?
11 da nobis auxilium de tribulatione et vana salus hominis
Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:
12 in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
