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。
你震动大地,将它撕裂。
求你修补裂口,
因为它要塌陷了。
你叫我们——你的子民吃尽苦头,
喝了令我们东倒西歪的苦酒。
但你赐给敬畏你的人旗帜,
可以挡住箭羽[a](细拉)
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。

上帝在祂的圣所说:
“我要欢然划分示剑,
丈量疏割谷。
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。
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。”
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。

  1. 60:4 挡住箭羽”或译作“为真理飘扬”。

Urgent Prayer for the Restored Favor of God(A)

To the Chief Musician. (B)Set to [a]“Lily of the Testimony.” A Michtam of David. For teaching. (C)When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

60 O God, (D)You have cast us off;
You have broken us down;
You have been displeased;
Oh, restore us again!
You have made the earth tremble;
You have broken it;
(E)Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.
(F)You have shown Your people hard things;
(G)You have made us drink the wine of [b]confusion.

(H)You have given a banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
(I)That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

God has (J)spoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice;
I will (K)divide (L)Shechem
And measure out (M)the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
(N)Ephraim also is the [c]helmet for My head;
(O)Judah is My lawgiver.
(P)Moab is My washpot;
(Q)Over Edom I will cast My shoe;
(R)Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”

Who will bring me to the strong city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not You, O God, (S)who cast us off?
And You, O God, who did (T)not go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble,
(U)For the help of man is useless.
12 Through God (V)we will do valiantly,
For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

  1. Psalm 60:1 Heb. Shushan Eduth
  2. Psalm 60:3 staggering
  3. Psalm 60:7 Lit. protection

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 God, you have rejected us.
    You have broken us down.
You have been angry.
    Restore us, again.
You have made the land tremble.
    You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
    for it quakes.
You have shown your people hard things.
    You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
You have given a banner to those who fear you,
    that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

So that your beloved may be delivered,
    save with your right hand, and answer us.
God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “I will triumph.
    I will divide Shechem,
    and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
    Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
    Judah is my scepter.
Moab is my wash basin.
    I will throw my sandal on Edom.
    I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Who will bring me into the strong city?
    Who has led me to Edom?
10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
    You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11 Give us help against the adversary,
    for the help of man is vain.
12 Through God we will do valiantly,
    for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
