Salmos 60
1 Para el músico principal. Con la melodía de “El Lirio de la Alianza”. Un poema didáctico de David, cuando luchó con Aram Naharaim y con Aram Zobah, y Joab volvió, y mató a doce mil de Edom en el Valle de la Sal. Dios, nos has rechazado. Nos has destrozado. Te has enfadado. Restablézcanos, de nuevo.
[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 hecho temblar la tierra. Lo has roto. Arreglar sus fracturas, porque tiembla.
[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 mostrado a tu pueblo cosas difíciles. Nos has hecho beber el vino que nos hace 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 Has dado un estandarte a los que te temen, para que se muestre por la verdad. (Selah)
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 Para que tu amado sea liberado, salva con tu mano derecha, y respóndenos.
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 santuario: “Voy a triunfar. Dividiré Siquem, y medir el valle de Succoth.
[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 Mío es Galaad y mío es Manasés. Efraín también es la defensa de mi cabeza. 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 Moab es mi lavabo. Lanzaré mi sandalia sobre Edom. Grito de triunfo sobre Filistea”.
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 llevará a la ciudad fuerte? ¿Quién me ha llevado 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 ¿No nos has rechazado, Dios, a nosotros? No sales con nuestros ejércitos, Dios.
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 Danos ayuda contra el adversario, porque la ayuda del hombre es vana.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Por medio de Dios lo haremos con valentía, ya que es él quien va a pisotear a nuestros adversarios.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
