Psalmien 108
1 Psalmi, Davidin veisu. Jumala! minun sydämeni on valmis: minä veisaan ja kiitän, niin myös minun kunniani.
God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
2 Nouse, psaltari ja kantele; minä nousen varhain.
I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
3 Sinua, Herra, minä kiitän kansain seassa: minä veisaan sinulle kiitosta sukukunnissa.
[I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
4 Sillä sinun armos on suuri ylitse taivasten, ja sinun totuutes hamaan pilviin asti.
because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
5 Korota sinuas, Jumala, taivasten ylitse ja kunnias kaiken maan ylitse,
Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
6 Että sinun rakkaat ystäväs vapaaksi tulisivat; auta oikialla kädelläs, ja kuule minun rukoukseni.
Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
7 Jumala on puhunut pyhässänsä, siitä minä iloitsen: minä jaan Sikemin, ja mittaan Sukkotin laakson.
And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
8 Gilead on minun, Manasse on myös minun, ja Ephraim on minun pääni väkevyys: Juuda on minun päämieheni;
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
9 Moab on minun pesinastiani, minä venytän kenkäni Edomin päälle: Philistealaisten ylitse minä iloitsen.
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].”
10 Kuka vie minua vahvaan kaupunkiin? kuka vie minua Edomiin?
[Because we want to attack 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]
11 Etkös sinä, Jumala, joka meitä heittänyt olet pois? Ja etkös mene ulos, Jumala, meidän sotaväkemme kanssa?
God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
12 Saata meille apua tuskissamme; sillä ihmisten apu on turha.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
13 Jumalassa me tahdomme urhoollisia töitä tehdä; ja hän polkee meidän vihollisemme alas.
[But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
