< Psalms 60 >
1 Unto the end. For those who will be changed, with the inscription of a title, of David himself, for instruction: when he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal, and Joab turned back and struck Idumea, in the valley of the salt pits, twelve thousand men. O God, you have rejected us, and you have ruined us. You became angry, and yet you have been merciful to us.
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!
2 You have moved the earth, and you have disturbed it. Heal its breaches, for it has been moved.
Potrese zemlju, rasječe je, zatvori joj usjeline jer se poljuljala.
3 You have revealed to your people difficulties. You have made us drink the wine of remorse.
Zlu si kob na svoj narod navalio, napio nas vinom omamnim.
4 You have given a warning sign to those who fear you, so that they may flee from before the face of the bow, so that your beloved may be delivered.
Al' si i stijeg dao vjernicima svojim da umaknu luku dušmanskom.
5 Save me with your right hand, and hear me.
Da ti se ljubimci izbave, desnicom pomozi, usliši nas!
6 God has spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Shechem, and I will measure the steep valley of the tabernacles.
Bog reče u svom Svetištu: “Šekem ću razdijelit' kličući, dolinu Sukot izmjeriti.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. And Ephraim is the strength of my head. Judah is my king.
Moj je Gilead, moj Manaše, Efrajim mi kaciga, Judeja žezlo moje!
8 Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. Into Idumea, I will extend my shoe. To me, the foreigners have been made subject.
Moab je sud iz kojeg se umivam, na Edom ću baciti obuću, nad Filistejcem slavit' pobjedu!”
9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me all the way to Idumea?
Tko će me dovesti do utvrđena grada, tko će me dovesti do Edoma?
10 Will not you, O God, who has rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?
Zar nećeš ti, o Bože, što nas odbaci? Zar više nećeš, Bože, s četama našim?
11 Grant us help from tribulation. For salvation from man is empty.
Pomozi nam protiv dušmana, jer ljudska je pomoć ništavna!
12 In God, we will act virtuously. And those who trouble us, he will lead to nothing.
S pomoću Božjom hrabro ćemo se boriti, a on će zgaziti naše dušmane.
