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!
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Bunga bakung kesaksian. Miktam dari Daud untuk diajarkan, ketika ia memerangi orang Aram-Mesopotamia dan orang Aram-Zoba, dan ketika Yoab pada waktu pulang telah memukul kalah dua belas ribu orang Edom di Lembah Asin. Ya Allah, Engkau telah membuang kami, menembus pertahanan kami; Engkau telah murka; pulihkanlah kami!
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).
Engkau telah menggoncangkan bumi dan membelahnya; perbaikilah retak-retaknya, sebab bumi telah goyang.
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].
Engkau telah membuat umat-Mu mengalami penderitaan yang berat, Engkau telah memberi kami minum anggur yang memusingkan.
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.
Kepada mereka yang takut kepada-Mu telah Kauberikan panji-panji, tanda untuk berlindung terhadap panah. (Sela)
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.”
Supaya terluput orang-orang yang Kaucintai, berikanlah keselamatan dengan tangan kanan-Mu dan jawablah kami!
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.
Allah telah berfirman di tempat kudus-Nya: "Aku hendak beria-ria, Aku hendak membagi-bagikan Sikhem, dan lembah Sukot hendak Kuukur.
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];
Punya-Ku Gilead dan punya-Ku Manasye, Efraim ialah pelindung kepala-Ku, Yehuda ialah tongkat kerajaan-Ku;
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 ialah tempat pembasuhan-Ku, kepada Edom Aku melemparkan kasut-Ku, karena Filistea Aku bersorak-sorai."
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]
Siapakah yang akan membawa aku ke kota yang berkubu? Siapakah yang menuntun aku ke Edom?
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].
Bukankah Engkau, ya Allah, yang telah membuang kami, dan yang tidak maju, ya Allah, bersama-sama bala tentara kami?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Berikanlah kepada kami pertolongan terhadap lawan, sebab sia-sia penyelamatan dari manusia.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Dengan Allah akan kita lakukan perbuatan-perbuatan gagah perkasa, sebab Ia sendiri akan menginjak-injak para lawan kita.
