Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلسُّوسَنِّ». شَهَادَةٌ مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ. عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَتِهِ أَرَامَ ٱلنَّهْرَيْنِ وَأَرَامَ صُوبَةَ، فَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ وَضَرَبَ مِنْ أَدُومَ فِي وَادِي ٱلْمِلْحِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا. يَا ٱللهُ رَفَضْتَنَا. ٱقْتَحَمْتَنَا. سَخِطْتَ. أَرْجِعْنَا. | ١ |
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
| زَلْزَلْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، فَصَمْتَهَا. ٱجْبُرْ كَسْرَهَا لِأَنَّهَا مُتَزَعْزِعَةٌ! | ٢ |
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
| أَرَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ عُسْرًا. سَقَيْتَنَا خَمْرَ ٱلتَّرَنُّحِ. | ٣ |
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
| أَعْطَيْتَ خَائِفِيكَ رَايَةً تُرْفَعُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ. سِلَاهْ. | ٤ |
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
| لِكَيْ يَنْجُوَ أَحِبَّاؤُكَ. خَلِّصْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي! | ٥ |
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
| ٱللهُ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بِقُدْسِهِ: «أَبْتَهِجُ، أَقْسِمُ شَكِيمَ، وَأَقِيسُ وَادِيَ سُكُّوتَ. | ٦ |
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
| لِي جِلْعَادُ وَلِي مَنَسَّى، وَأَفْرَايِمُ خُوذَةُ رَأْسِي، يَهُوذَا صَوْلَجَانِي. | ٧ |
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
| مُوآبُ مِرْحَضَتِي. عَلَى أَدُومَ أَطْرَحُ نَعْلِي. يَا فَلَسْطِينُ ٱهْتِفِي عَلَيَّ». | ٨ |
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
| مَنْ يَقُودُنِي إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةِ؟ مَنْ يَهْدِينِي إِلَى أَدُومَ؟ | ٩ |
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
| أَلَيْسَ أَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَضْتَنَا، وَلَا تَخْرُجُ يَا ٱللهُ مَعَ جُيُوشِنَا؟ | ١٠ |
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
| أَعْطِنَا عَوْنًا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ، فَبَاطِلٌ هُوَ خَلَاصُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ١١ |
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
| بِٱللهِ نَصْنَعُ بِبَأْسٍ، وَهُوَ يَدُوسُ أَعْدَاءَنَا. | ١٢ |
