Psalm 60 | English Standard Version

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

1 To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam* 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. 2 You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. 3 You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. 4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow.* 5 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! 6 God has spoken in his holiness:* “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. 8 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”* 9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10 Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. 11 Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! 12 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.

Segond 21

Prière après la défaite

1 Au chef de chœur, sur la mélodie «Le lis du témoignage». Hymne de David pour enseigner, 2 lorsqu'il fit la guerre aux Syriens de Mésopotamie et de Tsoba et que Joab, à son retour, battit 12'000 Edomites dans la vallée du sel. 3 O Dieu, tu nous as repoussés, dispersés, tu t'es irrité: relève-nous! 4 Tu as ébranlé la terre, tu l'as fendue: répare ses brèches, car elle est vacillante! 5 Tu as fait voir de dures épreuves à ton peuple, tu nous as fait boire un vin qui nous a étourdis. 6 Tu as donné à ceux qui te craignent le signal de la fuite devant les archers. – Pause. 7 Afin que tes bien-aimés soient délivrés, sauve-nous par ta main droite et exauce-nous! 8 Dieu a dit dans sa sainteté: «Je triompherai, je partagerai Sichem, je mesurerai la vallée de Succoth. 9 Galaad est à moi, Manassé est à moi, Ephraïm est le casque de ma tête, et Juda mon sceptre. 10 Moab est le bassin où je me lave, je jette ma sandale sur Edom. Pays des Philistins, pousse des cris contre moi!» 11 Qui me mènera dans la ville fortifiée? Qui me conduira jusqu'en Edom? 12 N'est-ce pas toi, ô Dieu, qui nous avais repoussés et qui ne sortais plus, ô Dieu, avec nos armées? 13 Viens nous aider contre notre adversaire! Le secours de l'homme n'est qu'illusion. 14 Avec Dieu, nous ferons des exploits: c'est lui qui écrasera nos adversaires.
