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.

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Susan Edut.” Dawid “Miktam” dwom. Wɔde yɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a ɔne Aram Naharanfoɔ ne Aram Sabafoɔ koeɛ na Yoab sane kɔkumm Edomfoɔ mpem dumienu wɔ Nkyene Bɔnhwa mu no. Ao Onyankopɔn, woapo yɛn, woabɔ yɛagu; wo bo afu yɛn, nanso gye yɛn bio!

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

Woawoso asase no na woapae mu; toatoa deɛ abubuo no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛrehinhim.

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

Woama wo nkurɔfoɔ ahunu mmerɛ bɔne; woama yɛn nsã a ɛma yɛtɔ ntentan.

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

Nanso wɔn a wɔsuro wo deɛ, woama wɔn frankaa so sɛ wɔntu ntia kuntun no.

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

Gye yɛn nkwa na fa wo nsa nifa boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.

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

Onyankopɔn akasa firi kronkronbea sɛ, “Nkonim mu, mɛkyɛ Sekem mu, na masusu Sukot bɔnhwa no.

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

Gilead wɔ me, Manase wɔ me; Efraim yɛ me dadeɛ kyɛ, ɛna Yuda yɛ mʼahempoma.

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

Moab yɛ me dwaresɛn, Edom so na meto me mpaboa guo; na meteam nkonimdie so gu Filistifoɔ so.”

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

Hwan na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hwan na ɔbɛdi mʼanim akɔ Edom?

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

Ɛnyɛ wo, Ao Onyankopɔn, wo a woapo yɛn na wone yɛn akodɔm ankɔ sa bio no?

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

Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfoɔ no, na ɔdasani mmoa nka hwee.

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

Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yɛbɛdi nkonim, na ɔbɛtiatia yɛn atamfoɔ so.
