Zaburi 60
1 Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.
Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men. O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
2 Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.
Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
3 Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
4 Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)
Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
5 Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.
Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.
God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
7 Gileadi ni yangu, na Manase ni yangu na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.
Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
8 Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”
Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
9 Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
11 Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
12 Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
