Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.

Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.

Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.

3 The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«

5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God [is] merciful.

Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.

7 Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«

11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«

12 What shall I render to the LORD [for] all his benefits towards me?

Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.

Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.

16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,

19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
