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!
Dem Sangmeister. Auf Schuschan Eduth. Ein Goldlied Davids zum Lehren. Als er mit Aram der zwei Flüsse und mit Aram von Zobah kämpfte, und Joab zurückkehrte und im Salztal zwölftausend Edomiter schlug. Gott, Du hast uns verworfen, einen Durchbruch wider uns gemacht, Du zürntest, kehre zurück zu uns.
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).
Du hast die Erde erbeben lassen, sie zerrüttet, heile ihre Brüche; denn sie wankt.
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].
Du hast gezeigt Hartes Deinem Volk, hast uns getränkt mit Wein des Taumels.
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.
Du hattest denen, die Dich fürchten, ein Panier gegeben, um ein Panier zu erheben wegen der Wahrheit, (Selah)
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.”
Auf daß Deine Lieben herausgezogen werden, rette mit Deiner Rechten und antworte uns.
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.
Gott hat geredet in Seiner Heiligkeit: Ich werde jauchzen; Ich will Sichem verteilen, und den Talgrund Sukkoth ausmessen.
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];
Mein ist Gilead, und Mein Menascheh, und Ephraim ist Meines Hauptes Stärke, Mein Gesetzgeber Jehudah.
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].”
Moab, der Topf Meines Waschens; über Edom werfe Ich Meine Schuhe; über Philistäa juble Ich.
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]
Wer wird mich geleiten zur befestigten Stadt? Wer mich bis Edom führen?
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].
Nicht Du, o Gott, Der Du uns verworfen, und nicht auszogst, o Gott, in unseren Heerscharen?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Gib Du uns Beistand von dem Dränger; ist eitel doch des Menschen Heil.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Mit Gott tun wir Tapferes; und Er zertritt unsere Dränger.
