Psalm 60

For the choir director: A psalm[a] of David useful for teaching, regarding the time David fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. To be sung to the tune “Lily of the Testimony.”

You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
    You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
You have shaken our land and split it open.
    Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
You have been very hard on us,
    making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
    a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude

Now rescue your beloved people.
    Answer and save us by your power.
God has promised this by his holiness[b]:
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
    I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine,
    and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
    and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
    and I will wipe my feet on Edom
    and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Who will bring me into the fortified city?
    Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10 Have you rejected us, O God?
    Will you no longer march with our armies?
11 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
    for all human help is useless.
12 With God’s help we will do mighty things,
    for he will trample down our foes.

Ang Pag-ampo alang sa Tabang sa Dios

60 O Dios, gisalikway mo kami ug gipapildi.
Nasuko ka kanamo, apan karon tagda na kamig balik.[a]
Gitay-og mo ug gipaliki ang yuta sa Israel,
apan karon nagahangyo ako kanimo nga ayohon mo kini kay hapit na kini malumpag.
Gipaantos mo kami sa hilabihan gayod.
Gasusapinday kami; daw sa gihubog mo kami ug bino.
Apan gipahimangnoan mo usab kami nga nagatahod kanimo aron makalikay kami sa mga pana sa kaaway.

Luwasa kami pinaagi sa imong gahom.
Tubaga ang among mga pag-ampo aron maluwas kami nga imong mga hinigugma.
O Dios, miingon ka didto sa imong templo,
“Modaog ako. Bahin-bahinon ko ang Shekem ug ang Kapatagan sa Sucot ug ipanghatag sa akong katawhan.
Akoa ang Gilead, ingon man ang Manase.
Ang Efraim mao ang akong tigpanalipod[b] ug ang Juda mao ang akong tigdumala.[c]
Ang Moab akong sulugoon[d] ug ang Edom akong gipanag-iyahan.[e]
Mosinggit ako sa kadaogan batok sa Filistia.”
Kinsa ang modala kanako sa Edom ug sa siyudad niini nga nalibotan sa mga paril?
10 Dili ba ikaw, O Dios, nga nagsalikway kanamo ug wala na mouban sa among mga sundalo?
11 Tabangi kami batok sa among mga kaaway,
kay walay pulos ang tabang sa tawo.
12 Modaog kami pinaagi sa imong tabang, O Dios,
kay laglagon mo ang among mga kaaway.

Psalm 60[a](A)

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam[b] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim[c] and Aram Zobah,[d] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.(B)

You have rejected us,(C) God, and burst upon us;
    you have been angry(D)—now restore us!(E)
You have shaken the land(F) and torn it open;
    mend its fractures,(G) for it is quaking.
You have shown your people desperate times;(H)
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.(I)
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner(J)
    to be unfurled against the bow.[e]

Save us and help us with your right hand,(K)
    that those you love(L) may be delivered.
God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(M)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(N)
Gilead(O) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim(P) is my helmet,
    Judah(Q) is my scepter.(R)
Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.(S)

Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(U)
12 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.(V)
