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.
Nkulunkulu, ubusilahlile, wasibhidliza, wathukuthela; buyela kithi.
2 Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
Uzamazamisile umhlaba, wawuqhekeza; silisa imikenke yawo, ngoba uyazamazama.
3 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Abantu bakho ubabonisile okulukhuni; usinathise iwayini lokudiyazela.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Ubanikile labo abakwesabayo isiboniso, ukuze siphakanyiswe ngenxa yeqiniso. (Sela)
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
Ukuze abathandekayo bakho bakhululwe; sindisa ngesandla sakho sokunene, usiphendule.
6 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
UNkulunkulu ukhulumile ebungcweleni bakhe. Ngizathaba, ngilabe iShekema, ngilinganise isihotsha seSukothi.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
Ngeyami iGileyadi, njalo ngowami uManase, loEfrayimi ungamandla ekhanda lami, uJuda ngumnikumthetho wami.
8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
UMowabi ungumganu wami wokugezela; phezu kukaEdoma ngizaphosela inyathela lami; mayelana lami, wena Filisti, memeza ngokunqoba.
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
Ngubani ozangisa emzini oqinileyo? Ngubani ozangiholela eEdoma?
10 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Kawusilahlanga yini, Nkulunkulu; kawuphumanga, Nkulunkulu, lamabutho ethu?
11 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
Siphe usizo ekuhlupheni, ngoba luyize uncedo lomuntu.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
KuNkulunkulu sizakwenza ngobuqhawe, ngoba yena uzanyathelela phansi izitha zethu.
