< Psalms 60 >

1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; thou hast been angry; O restore us again.
In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam, cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia. [Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.
2 Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.
5 That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.
Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who hath led me unto Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?
10 Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?
11 Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.]
