Psalms 60
1 For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Huhana Erutu. He Mikitama, na Rawiri, hei whakaako. No tana whawhaitanga ki a Aramanaharaima raua ko Aramatopa. Na hoki ana a Ioapa, a patua ana e ia a Eroma ki te Raorao Tote, kotahi tekau ma rua mano. E te Atua, kua pa nga matou e koe, kua oti matou te whakamarara e koe, kua riri koe; tahuri mai ano ki a matou.
2 Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
3 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Kua homai e koe he kara ki te hunga e wehi ana i a koe: kia whakakitea hei mea mo te pono. (Hera)
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
6 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Kua korero te Atua i runga i tona tapu; ka hari ahau, ka kotikoti i Hekeme, ka roherohe hoki i te raorao o Hukota.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;
8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
10 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
He teka ranei, e te Atua, kua panga matou e koe? kahore hoki koe, e te Atua, e haere tahi me a matou taua.
11 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
