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.

Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.

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

Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.

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

Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.

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

Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)

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

Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.

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

Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.

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

Gileadi ni yangu, na Manase ni yangu na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.

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

Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”

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

Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?

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

Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.

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

Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.

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

Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
