Psalm 60
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Psalm 60
Prayer for National Victory after Defeat
To the leader: according to The Lily of the Covenant. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1 O God, you have rejected us, broken our defences;
you have been angry; now restore us!
2 You have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
3 You have made your people suffer hard things;
you have given us wine to drink that made us reel.
4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
to rally to it out of bowshot.[a]Selah
5 Give victory with your right hand, and answer us,[b]
so that those whom you love may be rescued.
6 God has promised in his sanctuary:[c]
‘With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my sceptre.
8 Moab is my wash-basin;
on Edom I hurl my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.’
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
11 O grant us help against the foe,
for human help is worthless.
12 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.

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.
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。
