Salmos 60
(Til sangmesteren. Al-sjusjan-edut. En miktam af David til til indøvelse, dengang han kæmpede med Aram-Naharajim og Aram-Zoba, og Joab vendte tilbage og slog edomitterne i Saltdalen, 12000 mand.) Gud, du har stødt os fra dig, nedbrudt os, du vredes - vend dig til os igen;
du lod Landet skælve, slå Revner, læg nu dets Brist, thi det vakler!
Du lod dit Folk friste ondt, iskænked os døvende Vin.
Dem, der frygter dig, gav du et Banner, hvorhen de kan fly for Buen. - Sela.
Til Frelse for dine elskede hjælp med din højre, bønhør os!
mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
Hvo bringer mig hen til den faste Stad, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
Har du ikke, Gud, stødt os fra dig? Du ledsager ej vore Hære.
Giv os dog Hjælp mod Fjenden! Blændværk er Menneskers Støtte.
Med Gud skal vi øve vældige Ting, vore Fjender træder han ned!
[To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.] O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm} {scattered: Heb. broken}
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
That thy beloved may be delivered; save {with} thy right hand, and hear me.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead {is} mine, and Manasseh {is} mine; Ephraim also {is} the strength of mine head; Judah {is} my lawgiver;
Moab {is} my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. {triumph...: or, triumph thou over me: (by an irony}
Who will bring me {into} the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? {strong...: Heb. city of strength?}
{Wilt} not thou, O God, {which} hadst cast us off? and {thou}, O God, {which} didst not go out with our armies?
Give us help from trouble: for vain {is} the help of man. {help of man: Heb. salvation, etc}
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he {it is that} shall tread down our enemies.
