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和瑣巴的亞蘭人打仗，約押回師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你叫你的子民吃盡苦頭，
使我們喝令人踉蹌的酒。
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，
伸出右手拯救我們，
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，
我要朝非利士高唱凱歌。」
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，
祂必踐踏我們的敵人。
Psalm 60In Hebrew texts 60:1-12 is numbered 60:3-14.
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktamTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram NaharaimTitle: That is, Arameans of Northwest Mesopotamia and Aram Zobah,Title: That is, Arameans of central Syria and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us;
you have been angry—now restore us!
2You have shaken the land and torn it open;
mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3You have shown your people desperate times;
you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner
to be unfurled against the bow.60:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
5Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.
6God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?
11Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.
12With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.
