诗篇 60
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝的帮助
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，叫人学习，调用“作证的百合花”。当时大卫跟美索不达米亚西北部和叙利亚中部的亚兰人打仗，约押在盐谷杀了一万两千以东人。
60 上帝啊，
你遗弃了我们，
使我们一败涂地；
你曾向我们发怒，
求你现在复兴我们。
2 你震动大地，将它撕裂。
求你修补裂口，
因为它要塌陷了。
3 你叫我们——你的子民吃尽苦头，
喝了令我们东倒西歪的苦酒。
4 但你赐给敬畏你的人旗帜，
可以挡住箭羽[a]。（细拉）
5 求你应允我们的祷告，
伸出右手帮助我们，
使你所爱的人获救。
6 上帝在祂的圣所说：
“我要欢然划分示剑，
丈量疏割谷。
7 基列是我的，
玛拿西也是我的，
以法莲是我的头盔，
犹大是我的权杖。
8 摩押是我的洗脚盆，
我要把鞋扔给以东，
我要在非利士高唱凯歌。”
9 谁能带我进入坚固的城池？
谁能领我到以东？
10 上帝啊，你抛弃了我们吗？
不再和我们的军队一同出战了吗？
11 求你帮助我们攻打仇敌，
因为人的帮助徒然无益。
12 我们依靠上帝才能取胜，
祂必把我们的敌人踩在脚下。

Psalm 60
King James Version
60 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Psalm 60
EasyEnglish Bible
This is for the music leader, and he should use special music.
David wrote this prayer to teach people. He wrote it when he fought wars in north Syria. After the battle, Joab's army killed 12,000 of Edom's people in Salt Valley.
God, please help us![a]
60 God, you have turned against us,
and you have broken down our strong walls.[b]
You are angry with us,
but please make us strong again!
2 You made the ground shake
and you tore it open.
Now mend the holes,
or everything will fall down.
3 You have given your people a time of difficult trouble.
You have given us strong wine to drink,
that has made us fall like drunk people.[c]
4 But you have lifted up a flag
for the people who serve you.
They can meet together there,
to be safe in the battle.
Selah.
5 Use your power to rescue us!
Answer our prayers!
Then the people that you love will be safe.
6 God has spoken from his holy place![d]
He has promised:
‘I will show my power!
I will make Shechem into separate pieces.
I will measure Succoth Valley.
7 Gilead belongs to me,
and so does Manasseh.
Ephraim is like my helmet for war.
Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.[e]
8 But Moab is the place where I wash my hands.
Edom is my servant.
I can throw my shoes at him!
I will shout loudly,
because I have won against the Philistines.’[f]
9 Who will lead me into the strong city?
Who will take me to fight and win against Edom?[g]
10 God, have you really turned against us?
Will you not lead our armies into battle?
11 Help us to fight against our enemies,
because help from men is useless!
12 With God's help, we will win!
He will beat down our enemies for us.

- 60:1 See 2 Samuel 8:3-13; 10:16-18; 1 Chronicles 18:3-12; 19:6-19. David was fighting a war. He was a long way from home, near the River Euphrates. After the war, when David was returning home, Edom's army attacked Jerusalem. David sent Joab, the leader of his soldiers, to fight against the Edomites. David's army beat them and killed 12,000 of them. This happened in Salt Valley, near the Dead Sea. David wrote the psalm because he thought that God had left him and his people.
- 60:1 Edom's army broke down the city walls, but David decided that God had sent them to do it.
- 60:3 Strong wine that causes people to become drunk is often a picture of God's anger.
- 60:6 The holy place is God's home. Perhaps it was the temple in Jerusalem, or God's home in heaven.
