Psalmi 60

1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ljiljan svjedočanstva”. Miktam. Davidov. Kad je David izišao protiv Aram Naharajima i protiv Aram Sobe i kad je Joab na povratku potukao dvanaest tisuća Edomaca Bože, ti nas ÓodbÄaci i bojne nam redove prÓobi, razjari se, a sad nas opet vrati!

“For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!

2 Potrese zemlju, rasječe je, zatvori joj usjeline jer se poljuljala.

Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!

3 Zlu si kob na svoj narod navalio, napio nas vinom omamnim.

Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.

4 Al' si i stijeg dao vjernicima svojim da umaknu luku dušmanskom.

Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!

5 Da ti se ljubimci izbave, desnicom pomozi, usliši nas!

That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!

6 Bog reče u svom Svetištu: “Šekem ću razdijelit' kličući, dolinu Sukot izmjeriti.

God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Moj je Gilead, moj Manaše, Efrajim mi kaciga, Judeja žezlo moje!

Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;

8 Moab je sud iz kojeg se umivam, na Edom ću baciti obuću, nad Filistejcem slavit' pobjedu!”

Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!

9 Tko će me dovesti do utvrđena grada, tko će me dovesti do Edoma?

Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

10 Zar nećeš ti, o Bože, što nas odbaci? Zar više nećeš, Bože, s četama našim?

Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?

11 Pomozi nam protiv dušmana, jer ljudska je pomoć ništavna!

Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!

12 S pomoću Božjom hrabro ćemo se boriti, a on će zgaziti naše dušmane.

Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
