Psalms 60

1 For the leader. On shushan eduth. A michtam of David (for teaching), when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and defeated twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath – restore us!

達味金詩，交與樂官。 約阿布歸來，在鹽谷殺了一萬二千人。 天主，你拋棄了我們，粉碎了我們！你曾發怒，今求你復興我們。

2 You have shaken the land and cleft it; heal its tottering breaches.

你曾使大地震動，使地裂土崩，求你彌補裂縫，因它搖搖不定。

3 You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling.

你使你的百姓遭受艱苦，使我們喝了麻醉的烈酒。

4 You have given those who fear you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, (Selah)

然後你為敬愛你的人，豎起旗幟，為使他們閃避仇敵的弓矢；

5 for the rescue of your beloved. Save by your right hand and answer us.

為叫你所愛的人，獲得救恩；求你以右手協助，垂允我們。

6 God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

天主在自己的聖所說：「我要凱旋，將舍根分疆，將穌苛特的平原測量。

7 Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah my sceptre of rule,

基肋阿得地屬於我，默納協地也屬於我；我的頭盔就是厄弗辣因，猶大成為我手中的權棍；

8 Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom – I cast my shoe over it, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’

摩阿布是我的沐浴池，我向厄東投我的鞋隻，我還要戰勝培肋舍特。

9 O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!

誰弔領我進入堅城，誰領導我走進厄東？

10 Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.

天主，莫非你已將我們拋棄，難道不率領我軍出擊？

11 Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.

求你援助我們抵抗仇讎，因為人的援助盡是虛無。

12 With God we shall yet do bravely: he himself will tread down our foes.

我們倚靠天主奮勇行事，祂必要，踐踏我們的仇敵。
