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!
Mictam di Davide, da insegnare; [dato] al Capo de' Musici, sopra Susan-edut; intorno a ciò ch'egli diede il guasto alla Siria di Mesopotamia, ed alla Siria di Soba; e che Ioab, ritornando, sconfisse gl'Idumei nella valle del Sale, [in numero di] dodici mila O DIO, tu ci hai scacciati, tu ci hai dissipati, Tu ti sei adirato; [e poi], tu ti sei rivolto a noi.
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).
Tu hai scrollata la terra, e l'hai schiantata; Ristora le sue rotture; perciocchè è smossa.
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].
Tu hai fatte sentire al tuo popolo cose dure; Tu ci hai dato a bere del vino di stordimento.
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.
[Ma ora], tu hai dato a quelli che ti temono una bandiera, Per alzarla, per amor della [tua] verità. (Sela)
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.”
Acciocchè la tua diletta gente sia liberata, Salva[mi col]la tua destra, e rispondimi.
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.
Iddio ha parlato per la sua santità: Io trionferò, Io spartirò Sichem, e misurerò la valle di Succot.
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];
Mio [è] Galaad, e mio [è] Manasse, Ed Efraim [è] la forza del mio capo; Giuda [è] il mio legislatore;
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].”
Moab [è] la caldaia del mio lavatoio; Io getterò le mie scarpe sopra Edom; O Palestina, fammi delle acclamazioni.
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]
Chi mi condurrà nella città della fortezza? Chi mi menerà fino in 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].
Non [sarai desso] tu, o Dio, [che] ci avevi scacciati? E non uscivi [più] fuori, o Dio, co' nostri eserciti?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Dacci aiuto, [per uscir] di distretta; Perciocchè il soccorso degli uomini [è] vanità.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
In Dio noi faremo prodezze; Ed egli calpesterà i nostri nemici.
