Psalmorum 60

1 In finem, Pro his, qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David in doctrinam, cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ, et Sobal, et convertit Ioab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia. Deus repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos: iratus es, et misertus es nobis.

To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David. For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt. God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.

2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam: sana contritiones eius, quia commota est.

By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

3 Ostendisti populo tuo dura: potasti nos vino compunctionis.

You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

4 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem: ut fugiant a facie arcus: Ut liberentur dilecti tui:

Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah)

5 salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: Lætabor, et partibor Sichimam: et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.

God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses: et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Iuda rex meus:

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

8 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

9 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?

Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

10 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulisti nos: et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris?

Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.

11 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione: quia vana salus hominis.

Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

12 In Deo faciemus virtutem: et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.

Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
