Psalms 60
1 To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabelela. Kulandelwa itshuni ethi, “Iluba lesiVumelwano.” Imikithamu kaDavida. Elokufundisa. Lapho alwa lo-Aramu Naharayimu lo-Aramu Zobha, njalo lapho uJowabi athi ekubuyeni kwakhe walahla phansi ama-Edomi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili eSigodini seTswayi. Ususilahlile, Oh Nkulunkulu, wabhidliza izinqaba zethu; ubukade uthukuthele, manje ake usivuselele!
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Usulizamazamisile ilizwe waliqhekeza; namathisela iminkenke yalo ngoba selivevezela.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
Ubabonisile abantu bakho izikhathi ezilukhuni; usiphe iwayini elisenza sidiyazele.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)
Kodwa kulabo abakwesabayo usuphakamise uphawu lokubahlanganisa ndawonye.
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
Sisindise, usisize ngesandla sakho sokunene, ukuze bonke labo obathandayo bakhululwe.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
UNkulunkulu usekhulumile esendlini yakhe engcwele: “Ngokunqoba ngizayaba iShekhemu, ngihlole leSigodi saseSukhothi.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
Ngeyami iGiliyadi, loManase ngowami; u-Efrayimi yisivikelo sekhanda lami, uJuda uyintonga yami yobukhosi.
8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
IMowabi ngumganu wami wokugezela, phezu kuka-Edomi ngiphosela amanyathelo ami; phezu kweFilistiya ngihalalisa umkhosi wokunqoba.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini olenqaba na? Ngubani ozangiholela e-Edomi na?
10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Kakusuwe na, Oh Nkulunkulu, wena osusilahlile, ongasaphumi lathi ezimpini zethu?
11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Ake usisize ezitheni zethu, ngoba usizo lomuntu luyize.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Nxa siloNkulunkulu sizanqoba, njalo uzazinyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
