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!
(Til sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En miktam af David til til indøvelse, dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog edomitterne i Saltdalen, 12000 mand.) Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vredes - vend dig til os igen;
2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
du lod Landet skælve, slå Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!
3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.
4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. (Sela)
5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Gud talede i sin Helligdom: "Jeg vil udskifte Sikem med jubel, udmåle Sukkots Dal;
7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab min Vaskeskål, på Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg."
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære.
11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte.
12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
Med Gud skal vi øve vældige Ting, vore Fjender træder han ned!
