The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 59  

59:1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for Doctrine,
In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,

59:2 when he set fire to Mesopotamia, of Syria and Sobal; and Joab returned, and slew of Edom, in the vale of the salt-pits, twelve thousand men.
cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.

59:3 O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.

59:4 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.

59:5 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.

59:6 Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus; ut liberentur dilecti tui.

59:7 Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

59:8 God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.

59:9 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;

59:10 Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum: mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.

59:11 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam?

59:12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris?

59:13 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.

59:14 Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
In Deo faciemus virtutem; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.
