Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

我爱耶和华， 因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

他既向我侧耳， 我一生要求告他。

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. (Sheol h7585)

死亡的绳索缠绕我； 阴间的痛苦抓住我； 我遭遇患难愁苦。 (Sheol h7585)

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

那时，我便求告耶和华的名，说： 耶和华啊，求你救我的灵魂！

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

耶和华有恩惠，有公义； 我们的 神以怜悯为怀。

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

耶和华保护愚人； 我落到卑微的地步，他救了我。

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

我的心哪！你要仍归安乐， 因为耶和华用厚恩待你。

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

主啊，你救我的命免了死亡， 救我的眼免了流泪， 救我的脚免了跌倒。

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

我要在耶和华面前行活人之路。

10 I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.

我因信，所以如此说话； 我受了极大的困苦。

11 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

我曾急促地说： 人都是说谎的！

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

我拿什么报答耶和华向我所赐的一切厚恩？

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

我要举起救恩的杯， 称扬耶和华的名。

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

我要在他众民面前向耶和华还我的愿。

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

在耶和华眼中， 看圣民之死极为宝贵。

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

耶和华啊，我真是你的仆人； 我是你的仆人，是你婢女的儿子。 你已经解开我的绑索。

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

我要以感谢为祭献给你， 又要求告耶和华的名。

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

我要在他众民面前， 在耶和华殿的院内， 在耶路撒冷当中， 向耶和华还我的愿。 你们要赞美耶和华！

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
