Salmos 60
1 Para el director del coro. Según “El lirio del testimonio”. Un salmo (mictam) de David, útil para enseñar, acerca de la vez que peleó con Harán-Naharaim y Harán-Zobah, y cuando Joab regresó y mató a 12.000 Edomitas en el valle de sal. ¡Tú, Dios, nos has rechazado! ¡Nos has quebrantado, te has enojado con nosotros; pero ahora nos recibes nuevamente!
[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!
2 Has enviado terremotos a nuestra tierra y la has dividido. Ahora sana las grietas porque la tierra todavía tiene temblores.
[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).
3 Has sido muy duro con tu pueblo; nos diste un vino que nos hizo tambalear.
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].
4 Pero a los que te respetan les has dado el estandarte de la verdad para desplegarse y unirse. (Selah) ¡Rescata a los que amas!
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.
5 ¡Respóndenos, y sálvanos con tu poder!
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.”
6 Dios ha hablado desde su tiempo: “He dividido a Síquem triunfantemente, y parte del valle de Sucot.
[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.
7 Tanto Gilead como Manasés me pertenecen. Efraín es mi casco, y Judá es mi cetro.
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];
8 Trataré a Moab como mi lavabo; pondré mi sandalia sobre Edom; gritaré en triunfo sobre Filistia”.
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].”
9 ¿Quién me traerá a la ciudad fortificada? ¿Quién me guiará a Edom?
[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]
10 ¿Nos has rechazado, Dios? ¿No dirigirás a tus ejércitos?
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].
11 Por favor una mano de ayuda en contra de nuestros enemigos, porque la ayuda humana no vale la pena.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Nuestra fuerza está en Dios, y él destruirá a nuestros enemigos.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
