Psalms 60

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILY OF TESTIMONY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, TO TEACH, IN HIS STRIVING WITH ARAM-NAHARAIM AND WITH ARAM-ZOBAH, WHEN JOAB TURNS BACK AND STRIKES EDOM IN THE VALLEY OF SALT—TWELVE THOUSAND. O God, You had cast us off, You had broken us—had been angry! You turn back to us.

Kuom jatend wer. E dwol mar “Ondanyo mar singruok.” Miktam mar Daudi. Mar puonjo. Kane okedo gi Aram-Naharaim kod Aram Zoba, kendo kane Joab odwogo mi onego jo-Edom alufu apar gariyo e Holo mar Chumbi. Yaye Nyasaye, isedagiwa mi imuomori kuomwa; isebedo ka ikecho kodwa, to koro loswa!

2 You have caused the land to tremble, You have broken it, Heal its breaches, for it has moved.

Iseyiengo piny mi ibare diere ariyo, Los kuondene mosebarore, nikech oyiengni.

3 You have shown Your people a hard thing, You have caused us to drink wine of trembling.

Isenyiso jogi kinde mag chandruok mapek; isemiyowa kongʼo mamiyo wakwangʼ.

4 You have given an ensign to those fearing You, To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)

To isechungo bandech loch ni joma oluori mondo oumgi ka oywanegi atungʼ. (Sela)

5 That Your beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

Reswa kendo konywa gi lweti ma korachwich mondo joma ihero ogol e chandruok.

6 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult—I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,

Nyasaye osewuoyo gie kare maler kowacho niya, “Abiro pogo Shekem ne ji, kendo abiro pimo ne ji Holo mar Sukoth.

7 Gilead [is] Mine, and Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,

Gilead en mara, Manase bende mara; Efraim en oguta mar lweny, to Juda en osimbona mar loch.

8 Moab [is] My pot for washing, Over Edom I cast My shoe, Shout, concerning Me, O Philistia.

Moab en besen mara mar luok, to Edom e kama amoe wuochena; Filistia ema akoke ka aseloyo lweny.”

9 Who brings me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who has led me to Edom?

En ngʼa mabiro kela e dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno? Ngʼa mabiro telona nyaka Edom?

10 Is it not You, O God? Have You cast us off? And do You not go forth, O God, with our hosts?

Donge in ema isedagiwa, yaye Nyasaye, kendo tinde ok idhi gi jolwenjwa e lweny?

11 Give to us help from adversity, And the deliverance of man [is] vain.

Miwa kony mondo walo wasikwa, nikech kony mar dhano onge tich.

12 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!

Wabiro loyo lweny ka Nyasaye nikodwa, kendo obiro nyono wasikwa piny.
