1 God, you have rejected us.

You have broken us down.

You have been angry.

Restore us, again.

2 You have made the land tremble.

You have torn it.

Mend its fractures,

for it quakes.

3 You have shown your people hard things.

You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,

that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5 So that your beloved may be delivered,

save with your right hand, and answer us.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

"I will triumph.

I will divide Shechem,

and measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim also is the defense of my head.

Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab is my wash basin.

I will throw my sandal on Edom.

I shout in triumph over Philistia."

9 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who has led me to Edom?

10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?

You don’t go out with our armies, God.

11 Give us help against the adversary,

for the help of man is vain.

12 Through God we will do valiantly,

for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

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. ]
