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.
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 You have caused the land to tremble, You have broken it, Heal its breaches, for it has moved.
Wiri ana te whenua i a koe: kua ngatata i a koe: whakakapia ona wahi pakaru; e ru ana hoki.
3 You have shown Your people a hard thing, You have caused us to drink wine of trembling.
He mea pakeke kua whakakitea e koe ki tau iwi, kua oti matou te whakainu e koe ki te waina e wiri ai.
4 You have given an ensign to those fearing You, To be lifted up as an ensign Because of 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 Your beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Hei mea e mawhiti ai au e aroha ai: ma tou matau e whakaora, whakahokia mai hoki he kupu ki ahau.
6 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult—I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Noku Kireara, noku ano a Manahi, ko Eparaima ano hoki te kaha o toku matenga; ko Hura taku kaiwhakatakoto ture;
8 Moab [is] My pot for washing, Over Edom I cast My shoe, Shout, concerning Me, O Philistia.
Ko Moapa taku oko horoi; ka maka e ahau toku hu ki runga ki Eroma: e Pirihitia, ko ahau hei whakamanamana mau.
9 Who brings me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who has led me to Edom?
Ma wai ahau e kawe ki te pa kaha? Na wai ahau i arahi ki Eroma?
10 Is it not You, O God? Have You cast us off? And do You not go 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 to us help from adversity, And the deliverance of man [is] vain.
Homai he awhina mo matou ki o matou hoariri: he teka noa hoki te awhina a te tangata.
12 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Ma te Atua tatou ka toa ai: mana hoki e takahi ki raro o tatou hoa whawhai.
