< Psalms 60 >

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
[Aramnaharaim neh Aramzobah te a hnueih phoeiah Joab ha bal tih kolrhawk ah Edom thawng hlai nit a ngawn vaengkah a tukkil te aka mawt ham David kah Olphong Tuilipai laa] Pathen aw, kaimih he nan hlahpham tih, na thintoek ah kaimih nan phaek. Kaimih he koep m'mael puei lah.
2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
Diklai na hinghuen tih phak na boe. A tuen vaengkah a hma te hoeih sak lah.
3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
Na pilnam te mangkhak la na hmuh tih ngaengainah misurtui te kaimih nan tul.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
Nang aka rhih ham tah, tiktam hmai la rhaelrham saeh tila rholik na thoh pah. (Selah)
5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
Na lungnah rhoek te na bantang neh khang lamtah pumcum uh van saeh. Te dongah kaimih he n'doo lamtah kamah khaw n'doo mai.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Pathen loh a hmuencim lamkah, “Ka sundaep vetih, Shekhem te ka boe phoeiah Sukkoth kol te ka suem ni.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
Gilead he kai kah tih, Manasseh khaw kamah kah. Ephraim khaw ka lu kah lunghim tih, Judah khaw ka taem.
8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Moab tah kai kah tuihluknah am ni. Edom soah ka khokhom ka voeih tih Philistia te ka yuhui thil,” a ti.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
Vongup khopuei la ulong kai n'khuen eh? Edom la ulong kai m'mawt eh?
10 Have not you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.
Pathen nang loh kaimih nan hlahpham pawt tih Pathen namah te kaimih kah caempuei rhoek taengla na pawk moenih a?
11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
Hlang kah loeihnah a poeyoek la a om dongah rhal taengah khaw kai he bomnah m'pae lah.
12 Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
Pathen neh caem ka tloek rhoi vetih ka rhal ka suntlae ni.
