< Psalms 60 >

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. شَهَادَةٌ مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ لَمَّا حَارَبَ سُورِيِّي مَا بَيْنَ النَّهْرَيْنِ وَسُورِيِّي صُوبَةَ، فَرَجَعَ يُوآبُ وَصَرَعَ مِنَ الأَدُومِيِّينَ فِي وَادِي الْمِلْحِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً. يَا اللهُ قَدْ رَذَلْتَنَا، وَبَدَّدْتَنَا وَسَخِطْتَ عَلَيْنَا، فَرُدَّنَا إِلَيْكَ.١
2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
زَلْزَلْتَ الأَرْضَ وَصَدَّعْتَهَا، فَاجْبُرْ كَسْرَهَا لأَنَّهَا تَهْتَزُّ.٢
3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
جَعَلْتَ شَعْبَكَ يُعَانِي الْمَشَقَّاتِ. وَتَرَنَّحْنَا تَحْتَ وَقْعِ ضَرَبَاتِكَ كَالسُّكَارَى.٣
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
أَعْطَيْتَ خَائِفِيكَ رَايَةً تُرْفَعُ لأَجْلِ الْحَقِّ.٤
5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
لِكَيْ يَنْجُوَ أَحِبَّاؤُكَ. خَلِّصْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي.٥
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ فِي قَدَاسَتِهِ، لِذَلِكَ أَبْتَهِجُ وَأَقْسِمُ أَرْضَ شَكِيمَ وَأَقِيسُ وَادِي سُكُّوتَ،٦
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
لِي جِلْعَادُ، وَلِي مَنَسَّى. أَفْرَايِمُ خُوذَةُ رَأْسِي، وَيَهُوذَا صَوْلَجَانِي.٧
8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
مُوآبُ مِرْحَضَتِي، وَعَلَى أَدُومَ أُلْقِي حِذَائِي، وَعَلَى فَلَسْطِينَ أَهْتِفُ مُنْتَصِراً.٨
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
مَنْ يَقُودُنِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُحَصَّنَةِ؟ مَنْ يَهْدِينِي إِلَى أَدُومَ؟٩
10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.
أَلَيْسَ أَنْتَ يَا اللهُ الَّذِي أَقْصَيْتَنَا وَلَمْ تَعُدْ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ جُيُوشِنَا؟١٠
11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
هَبْ لَنَا عَوْناً فِي الضِّيقِ، فَعَبَثٌ هُوَ خَلاصُ الإِنْسَانِ.١١
12 Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
بِعَوْنِ اللهِ نُحَارِبُ بِبَأْسٍ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَدُوسُ أَعْدَاءَنَا.١٢
