< 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.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Susani-Etuta, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita, ke ako ʻaki; ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa ʻElama-Nahalaimi mo ʻElama-Sopa, pea liu mai ʻa Soape, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻi he luo ʻoe māsima ʻae tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe ʻoe kakai ʻItomi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu; kuo ke veteki ʻakimautolu; naʻa ke houhau; ke ke toe tafoki mai kiate kimautolu.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Kuo ke lulu ʻae fonua ke tetetete; kuo mafahifahi ia: ke ke fakalelei hono ngaahi maumau; he ʻoku ngalulu ia.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa ki hoʻo kakai; kuo ke fakainu ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae uaine fakaofo.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)
Kuo ke foaki ʻae fuka kiate kinautolu naʻe manavahē kiate koe, ke fakahā ia koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni. (Sila)
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai; ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo fanongo kiate au.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; “Te u fiefia, te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
‌ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati, pea ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko e mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta;
8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi: Filisitia, ke ke vikiviki koe koeʻuhi ko au.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?
10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? ʻA koe, ʻE ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?
11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni mei he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.
