< Psalms 60 >

1 For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
大衛與兩河間的亞蘭並瑣巴的亞蘭爭戰的時候,約押轉回,在鹽谷攻擊以東,殺了一萬二千人。那時,大衛作這金詩,叫人學習,交與伶長。調用為證的百合花。 上帝啊,你丟棄了我們,使我們破敗; 你向我們發怒,求你使我們復興!
2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
你使地震動,而且崩裂; 求你將裂口醫好,因為地搖動。
3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
你叫你的民遇見艱難; 你叫我們喝那使人東倒西歪的酒。
4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
你把旌旗賜給敬畏你的人, 可以為真理揚起來。 (細拉)
5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
求你應允我們,用右手拯救我們, 好叫你所親愛的人得救。
6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
上帝已經指着他的聖潔說:我要歡樂; 我要分開示劍,丈量疏割谷。
7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
基列是我的,瑪拿西也是我的。 以法蓮是護衛我頭的; 猶大是我的杖。
8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
摩押是我的沐浴盆; 我要向以東拋鞋。 非利士啊,你還能因我歡呼嗎?
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
誰能領我進堅固城? 誰能引我到以東地?
10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
上帝啊,你不是丟棄了我們嗎? 上帝啊,你不和我們的軍兵同去嗎?
11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
求你幫助我們攻擊敵人, 因為人的幫助是枉然的。
12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
我們倚靠上帝才得施展大能, 因為踐踏我們敵人的就是他。
