Psalms 60

1 For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burnt Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.

達味金詩，交與樂官。 約阿布歸來，在鹽谷殺了一萬二千人。 天主，你拋棄了我們，粉碎了我們！你曾發怒，今求你復興我們。

2 You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.

你曾使大地震動，使地裂土崩，求你彌補裂縫，因它搖搖不定。

3 You have shown your people hard things: you has made us drink the wine of astonishment.

你使你的百姓遭受艱苦，使我們喝了麻醉的烈酒。

4 You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)

然後你為敬愛你的人，豎起旗幟，為使他們閃避仇敵的弓矢；

5 That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.

為叫你所愛的人，獲得救恩；求你以右手協助，垂允我們。

6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.

天主在自己的聖所說：「我要凱旋，將舍根分疆，將穌苛特的平原測量。

7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;

基肋阿得地屬於我，默納協地也屬於我；我的頭盔就是厄弗辣因，猶大成為我手中的權棍；

8 Judas is my king; Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.

摩阿布是我的沐浴池，我向厄東投我的鞋隻，我還要戰勝培肋舍特。

9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?

誰弔領我進入堅城，誰領導我走進厄東？

10 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?

天主，莫非你已將我們拋棄，難道不率領我軍出擊？

11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.

求你援助我們抵抗仇讎，因為人的援助盡是虛無。

12 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.

我們倚靠天主奮勇行事，祂必要，踐踏我們的仇敵。
