Psalms 60
1 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?
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
2 Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered:
commovisti terram et turbasti eam sana contritiones eius quia commota est
3 Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.
ostendisti populo tuo dura potasti nos vino conpunctionis
4 Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. (Selah)
dedisti metuentibus te significationem ut fugiant a facie arcus diapsalma ut liberentur dilecti tui
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.
salvum fac dextera tua et exaudi me
6 God, hath spoken in his holiness—I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;
Deus locutus est in sancto suo laetabor et partibor Sicima et convallem tabernaculorum metibor
7 Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;
meus est Galaad et meus est Manasses et Effraim fortitudo capitis mei Iuda rex meus
8 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.
Moab olla spei meae in Idumeam extendam calciamentum meum mihi alienigenae subditi sunt
9 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!
quis deducet me in civitatem munitam quis deducet me usque in Idumeam
10 Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?
nonne tu Deus qui reppulisti nos et non egredieris Deus in virtutibus nostris
11 Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:
da nobis auxilium de tribulatione et vana salus hominis
12 In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
in Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos
