< Salme 60 >

1 (Til sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En miktam af David til til indøvelse, dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog edomitterne i Saltdalen, 12000 mand.) Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vredes - vend dig til os igen;
O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
2 du lod Landet skælve, slå Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!
You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
3 Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.
You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. (Sela)
You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 Gud talede i sin Helligdom: "Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med jubel, udmåle Sukkots Dal;
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab min Vaskeskål, på Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg."
Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
9 Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære.
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
11 Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 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.
