1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David.\2 \60:1\For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt. 3 \60:1\God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.4 \60:2\By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.5 \60:3\You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.6 \60:4\Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)7 \60:5\So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.8 \60:6\God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.9 \60:7\Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;10 \60:8\Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.11 \60:9\Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?12 \60:10\Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.13 \60:11\Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.14 \60:12\Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

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. ]
