< Psalms 60 >
1 O God thou have cast us off. Thou have broken us down. Thou have been angry. O restore us again.
Til Sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En Miktam af David til Indøvelse,
2 Thou have made the land to tremble. Thou have torn it. Heal the breaking of it, for it shakes.
dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog Edomiterne i Saltdalen, 12 000 Mand.
3 Thou have shown thy people hard things. Thou have made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vrededes — vend dig til os igen;
4 Thou have given a banner to those who fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
du lod Landet skælve, slaa Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.
6 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. (Sela)
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
8 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Philistia, shout thou because of me.
Gud talede i sin Helligdom: »Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med Jubel, udmaale Sukkots Dal;
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
10 Have not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
Moab min Vaskeskaal, paa Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg.«
11 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
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!
