Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I love the Lord, for he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
For he has inclined his ear to me: I will call upon him as long as I live.
About me were snares of death, the anguish of Sheol was upon me: distress and sorrow were mine. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then I called on the name of the Lord: “I beseech you, O Lord, deliver me.”
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
Gracious and just is the Lord, compassionate is our God.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
The Lord preserves the simple; when I was drooping, he saved me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
Be at peace, my heart, once more, for the Lord has been good to you.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
You have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
Before the Lord I will walk in the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I held fast my faith, though I said, “Ah me! I am sore afflicted,”
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
though in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
What shall I render the Lord for all his bounty to me?
13 Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Grave in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his loyal and loved ones.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds.
17 Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will offer to you a thank-offering, and call on the name of the Lord.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
