Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Para el director del coro. Según “El lirio del testimonio”. Un salmo (mictam) de David, útil para enseñar, acerca de la vez que peleó con Harán-Naharaim y Harán-Zobah, y cuando Joab regresó y mató a 12.000 Edomitas en el valle de sal. ¡Tú, Dios, nos has rechazado! ¡Nos has quebrantado, te has enojado con nosotros; pero ahora nos recibes nuevamente!
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Has enviado terremotos a nuestra tierra y la has dividido. Ahora sana las grietas porque la tierra todavía tiene temblores.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Has sido muy duro con tu pueblo; nos diste un vino que nos hizo tambalear.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Pero a los que te respetan les has dado el estandarte de la verdad para desplegarse y unirse. (Selah) ¡Rescata a los que amas!
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
¡Respóndenos, y sálvanos con tu poder!
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Dios ha hablado desde su tiempo: “He dividido a Síquem triunfantemente, y parte del valle de Sucot.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Tanto Gilead como Manasés me pertenecen. Efraín es mi casco, y Judá es mi cetro.
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Trataré a Moab como mi lavabo; pondré mi sandalia sobre Edom; gritaré en triunfo sobre Filistia”.
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
¿Quién me traerá a la ciudad fortificada? ¿Quién me guiará a Edom?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
¿Nos has rechazado, Dios? ¿No dirigirás a tus ejércitos?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Por favor una mano de ayuda en contra de nuestros enemigos, porque la ayuda humana no vale la pena.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Nuestra fuerza está en Dios, y él destruirá a nuestros enemigos.
