Salmos 60

1 Al Vencedor: sobre Susan-Hedut: Mictam de David, para enseñar. Cuando tuvo guerra contra Aram-Naharaim y contra Aram Sobat, y volvió Joab, e hirió a Edom en el valle de las salinas, matando doce mil. Oh Dios, tú nos has desechado, nos disipaste; te has airado: vuélvete a nosotros.

[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 Hiciste temblar la tierra, la abriste; sana sus quiebras, porque titubea.

[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 hecho ver a tu pueblo duras cosas; nos hiciste beber el vino de temblor.

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 a los que te temen bandera que alcen 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 se libren tus amados, salva con tu diestra, y óyeme.

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 pronunció en santidad; yo me alegraré; partiré a Siquem, y mediré el 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 Mío es Galaad, y mío es Manasés; y Efraín es la fortaleza de mi cabeza; Judá, mi legislador;

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, la vasija de mi lavatorio; sobre Edom echaré mi zapato; haz júbilo por razón de mí, oh Palestina.

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 fortalecida? ¿Quién me llevará hasta Idumea?

[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 Ciertamente, tú, oh Dios, que nos habías desechado; y tu, oh Dios, que no salías con nuestras armadas.

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 socorro contra el enemigo, que vana es la salud de los hombres.

[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.

12 En Dios haremos ejército; y él hollará nuestros enemigos.

But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
