Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de«El lirio del pacto». Mictam didáctico de David, cuando luchó contra los arameos del noroeste de Mesopotamia y de Siria central, y cuando Joab volvió y abatió a doce mil edomitas en el valle de la Sal.
1– Oh Dios, tú nos has rechazado y has abierto brecha en nuestras filas; te has enojado con nosotros: ¡restáuranos ahora! (Ps 60,5; Ps 108,6)2Has sacudido la tierra, la has resquebrajado; repara sus grietas, porque se desmorona.3Has sometido a tu pueblo a duras pruebas; nos diste a beber un vino embriagador.4Da[1] a tus fieles la señal de retirada, para que puedan escapar de los arqueros. Selah5Líbranos con tu diestra, respóndenos para que tu pueblo amado quede a salvo.6Dios ha dicho en su santuario: «Triunfante repartiré a Siquén, y dividiré el valle de Sucot.7Mío es Galaad, mío es Manasés; Efraín es mi yelmo y Judá mi cetro.8En Moab me lavo las manos, sobre Edom arrojo mi sandalia; sobre Filistea lanzo gritos de triunfo».9¿Quién me llevará a la ciudad fortificada? ¿Quién me mostrará el camino a Edom?10¿No eres tú, oh Dios, quien nos ha rechazado? ¡Ya no sales, oh Dios, con nuestros ejércitos!11Bríndanos tu ayuda contra el enemigo, pues de nada sirve la ayuda humana.12Con Dios obtendremos la victoria; ¡él pisoteará a nuestros enemigos!
Psalm 60
English Standard Version
He Will Tread Down Our Foes
1To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam[1] of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. (5Mo 31,19; 2Sam 5,20; 2Sam 8,3; 2Sam 8,13; 2Sam 10,16; 1Chr 18,3; 1Chr 18,12; Ps 16,1; Ps 44,9; Ps 60,10; Ps 80,1; Ps 80,3)2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. (2Chr 7,14)3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. (Hi 21,20; Ps 71,20; Jes 51,17; Jes 51,22)4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow.[2] (Ps 20,5; Spr 22,21; Jes 5,26; Jes 11,12; Jes 13,2)5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! (5Mo 33,12; Ps 108,6; Jer 11,15)6God has spoken in his holiness:[3] “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. (1Mo 12,6; 1Mo 33,17; 1Mo 33,18; Jos 1,6; Jos 13,27; Jos 17,7; Ps 89,35; Am 4,2)7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. (1Mo 49,10; 5Mo 33,17; Jos 13,31; Ps 140,7)8Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”[4] (2Sam 8,1; 2Sam 8,2; Mt 3,11)9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? (2Sam 8,14)10Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. (Ps 44,9; Ps 60,1)11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! (Ps 146,3)12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. (4Mo 24,18; Ps 44,5; Ps 108,13; Ps 118,15; Jes 63,3)
