< Salme 60 >

1 Til Sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En Miktam af David til Indøvelse,
O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
2 dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog Edomiterne i Saltdalen, 12 000 Mand.
You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
3 Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vrededes — vend dig til os igen;
You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 du lod Landet skælve, slaa Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!
You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.
That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. (Sela)
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Gud talede i sin Helligdom: »Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med Jubel, udmaale Sukkots Dal;
Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
9 mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Moab min Vaskeskaal, paa Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg.«
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
11 Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære. Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte. Med Gud skal vi øve vældige Ting, vore Fjender træder han ned!
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
