1 Vir die musiekleier; op die wysie van: "Die Lelie van die Getuienis." 'n Gedig van Dawid, om te onderrig.

2 Toe hy oorlog gevoer het teen die Arameërs van Mesopot mië en die Arameërs van Soba, en Joab teruggekom en die Edomiete verslaan het in die Soutdal, twaalf duisend.

3 o God, U het ons verstoot, ons vanmekaar geskeur; U was toornig; herstel ons!

4 U het die land laat bewe, dit gekloof; genees sy breuke, want dit wankel!

5 U het u volk harde dinge laat sien; U het ons bedwelmende wyn laat drink.

6 U het aan die wat u vrees, 'n banier gegee, om te vlug vir die boog! Sela.

7 Sodat u bemindes gered mag word; verlos deur u regterhand en verhoor ons!

8 God het gespreek in sy heiligdom: Ek wil jubel, Ek wil Sigem verdeel en die dal van Sukkot afmeet.

9 G¡lead is myne en Manasse is myne, en Efraim is die beskutting van my hoof; Juda is my veldheerstaf.

10 Moab is my waskom; op Edom werp Ek my skoen; jubel oor My, o Filist,a!

11 Wie sal my bring in die versterkte stad? Wie kan my lei tot in Edom?

12 Het U, o God, ons nie verwerp nie? En U trek nie uit, o God, saam met ons leërs nie. [ (Psalms 60:13) Verleen ons hulp teen die vyand, want die mens se hulp is ydelheid. ] [ (Psalms 60:14) In God sal ons kragtige dade doen, en Hy self sal ons vyande vertrap. ]

1 O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;

Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

2 Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:

Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things:

Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

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 answer us.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;

Judah is my sceptre.

8 Moab is my washpot;

Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:

Philistia, shout thou because of me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who hath led me unto Edom?

10 Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

11 Give us help against the adversary;

For vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly;

For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
