Psalms 60

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster To the tune 'The decree is a lily' In a quiet voice Of David To be learnt When hewas at war with Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah, and Joab marched back to destroy twelve thousand Edomitesin the Val ey of Salt] God, you have rejected us, broken us, you were angry, come back to us!	1 In finem. In hymnis David.
2 You made the earth tremble, split it open; now mend the rifts, it is tottering stil .	2 Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam ; intende orationi meæ.
3 You have forced your people to drink a bitter draught, forced us to drink a wine that made us reel.	3 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum ; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,
4 You gave a signal to those who fear you to let them escape out of range of the bow.Pause	4 quia factus es spes mea : turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.
5 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.	5 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula ; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Valley ofSuccoth.	6 Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam ; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.
7 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,	7 Dies super dies regis adjicies ; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.
8 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal. Now try shouting "Victory!" over me,Philistia!'	8 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei : misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret ?
9 Who wil lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide me into Edom,	9 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
10 if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.
11 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human help is worthless.
12 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample down our enemies.
