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!

ダビデ、ナハライムのアラムおよびゾバのアラムとたたかひをりしがヨアブかへりゆき塩谷にてエドム人一萬二千をころししとき教訓をなさんとてダビデがよみて「證詞の百合花」といふ調にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるミクタムの歌 神よなんぢわれらを棄われらをちらし給へり なんぢは憤ほりたまへり ねがはくは再びわれらを歸したまへ

2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.

なんぢ國をふるはせてこれを裂たまへり ねがはくはその多くの隙をおぎなひたまへ そは國ゆりうごくなり

3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.

なんぢはその民にたへがたきことをしめし 人をよろめかする酒をわれらに飮しめ給へり

4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)

なんぢ眞理のために挙しめんとて汝をおそるるものに一つの旗をあたへたまへり (セラ)

5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

ねがはくは右の手をもて救をほどこし われらに答をなして愛しみたまふものに助をえしめたまへ

6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

神はその聖をもていひたまへり われ甚くよろこばん われシケムをわかちスコテの谷をはからん

7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.

ギレアデはわがもの マナセはわが有なり エフライムも亦わが首のまもりなり ユダはわが杖

8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

モアブはわが足盥なり エドムにはわが履をなげん ベリシテよわが故によりて聲をあげよと

9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

たれかわれを堅固なる邑にすすましめんや 誰かわれをみちびきてエドムにゆきたるか

10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?

神よなんぢはわれらを棄たまひしにあらずや 神よなんぢはわれらの軍とともにいでゆきたまはず

11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.

ねがはくは助をわれにあたへて敵にむかはしめたまへ 人のたすけは空しければなり

12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.

われらは神によりて勇しくはたらかん われらの敵をみたまふものは神なればなり
