第 60 篇
祈求上帝的幫助
大衛作的詩，交給樂長，叫人學習，調用「作證的百合花」。當時大衛跟美索不達米亞西北部和敘利亞中部的亞蘭人打仗，約押在鹽谷殺了一萬兩千以東人。
1上帝啊，
你遺棄了我們，
使我們一敗塗地；
你曾向我們發怒，
求你現在復興我們。
2你震動大地，將它撕裂。
求你修補裂口，
因為它要塌陷了。
3你叫我們——你的子民吃盡苦頭，
喝了令我們東倒西歪的苦酒。
4但你賜給敬畏你的人旗幟，
可以擋住箭羽60·4 「擋住箭羽」或譯作「為真理飄揚」。。（細拉）
5求你應允我們的禱告，
伸出右手幫助我們，
使你所愛的人獲救。
6上帝在祂的聖所說：
「我要歡然劃分示劍，
丈量疏割谷。
7基列是我的，
瑪拿西也是我的，
以法蓮是我的頭盔，
猶大是我的權杖。
8摩押是我的洗腳盆，
我要把鞋扔給以東，
我要在非利士高唱凱歌。」
9誰能帶我進入堅固的城池？
誰能領我到以東？
10上帝啊，你拋棄了我們嗎？
不再和我們的軍隊一同出戰了嗎？
11求你幫助我們攻打仇敵，
因為人的幫助徒然無益。
12我們依靠上帝才能取勝，
祂必把我們的敵人踩在腳下。

6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.60.8 triumph…: or, triumph thou over me: (by an irony)
9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?60.9 strong…: Heb. city of strength?
