第 60 篇
祈求上帝的帮助
大卫作的诗，交给乐长，叫人学习，调用“作证的百合花”。当时大卫跟美索不达米亚西北部和叙利亚中部的亚兰人打仗，约押在盐谷杀了一万两千以东人。
1上帝啊，
你遗弃了我们，
使我们一败涂地；
你曾向我们发怒，
求你现在复兴我们。
2你震动大地，将它撕裂。
求你修补裂口，
因为它要塌陷了。
3你叫我们——你的子民吃尽苦头，
喝了令我们东倒西歪的苦酒。
4但你赐给敬畏你的人旗帜，
可以挡住箭羽60:4 “挡住箭羽”或译作“为真理飘扬”。。（细拉）
5求你应允我们的祷告，
伸出右手帮助我们，
使你所爱的人获救。
6上帝在祂的圣所说：
“我要欢然划分示剑，
丈量疏割谷。
7基列是我的，
玛拿西也是我的，
以法莲是我的头盔，
犹大是我的权杖。
8摩押是我的洗脚盆，
我要把鞋扔给以东，
我要在非利士高唱凯歌。”
9谁能带我进入坚固的城池？
谁能领我到以东？
10上帝啊，你抛弃了我们吗？
不再和我们的军队一同出战了吗？
11求你帮助我们攻打仇敌，
因为人的帮助徒然无益。
12我们依靠上帝才能取胜，
祂必把我们的敌人踩在脚下。
Psalm 60
For the director of music. For teaching. A miktam of David when he fought against Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah. That was when Joab returned and struck down 12,000 people from Edom in the Valley of Salt. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.”
1God, you have turned away from us. You have attacked us.
You have been angry. Now turn back to us!
2You have shaken the land and torn it open.
Fix its cracks, because it is falling apart.
3You have shown your people hard times.
You have made us drink the wine of your anger.
Now we can’t even walk straight.
4But you lead into battle those who have respect for you.
You give them a flag to wave against the enemy’s weapons.
5Save us and help us by your power.
Do this so that those you love may be saved.
6God has spoken from his temple.
He has said, “I will win the battle.
Then I will divide up the land around Shechem.
I will divide up the Valley of Sukkoth.
7Gilead belongs to me.
So does the land of Manasseh.
Ephraim is the strongest tribe.
It is like a helmet for my head.
Judah is the royal tribe.
It is like a ruler’s scepter.
8Moab serves me like one who washes my feet.
I toss my sandal on Edom to show that I own it.
I shout to Philistia that I have won the battle.”
9Who will bring me to the city that has high walls around it?
Who will lead me to the land of Edom?
10God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us?
Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore?
11Help us against our enemies.
The help people give doesn’t amount to anything.
12With your help we will win the battle.
You will walk all over our enemies.
