Psalmien 108
1 Laulu; Daavidin virsi. Minun sydämeni on valmis, Jumala, minä tahdon veisata ja soittaa; valmis on minun sieluni.
God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
2 Heräjä, harppu ja kannel. Minä tahdon herättää aamuruskon.
I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
3 Herra, sinua minä kiitän kansojen joukossa ja veisaan sinun kiitostasi kansakuntien keskellä.
[I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
4 Sillä suuri on sinun armosi ja ulottuu ylitse taivasten ja sinun totuutesi 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 itsesi yli taivasten, Jumala, ja levitköön sinun kunniasi yli kaiken maan.
Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
6 Että sinun rakkaasi pelastetuiksi tulisivat, auta oikealla kädelläsi ja vastaa minulle.
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 pyhäkössänsä. Minä riemuitsen, 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 Minun on Gilead, ja minun on Manasse; Efraim on minun pääni suojus, Juuda minun valtikkani.
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 Mooab on minun pesuastiani, Edomiin minä viskaan kenkäni, minä riemuitsen Filistean maasta.
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 minut varustettuun kaupunkiin? Kuka saattaa minut 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 Etkö sinä, Jumala, hyljännyt meitä? Et lähtenyt, Jumala, meidän sotajoukkojemme 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 Anna meille apu ahdistajaa vastaan, sillä turha on ihmisten apu.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
13 Jumalan voimalla me teemme väkeviä tekoja; hän tallaa meidän vihollisemme maahan.
[But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
