Psalms 116

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

我愛耶和華， 因為他聽了我的聲音和我的懇求。

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

他既向我側耳， 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)

死亡的繩索纏繞我； 陰間的痛苦抓住我； 我遭遇患難愁苦。 (Sheol h7585)

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

那時，我便求告耶和華的名，說： 耶和華啊，求你救我的靈魂！

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

耶和華有恩惠，有公義； 我們的上帝以憐憫為懷。

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

耶和華保護愚人； 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！你要仍歸安樂， 因為耶和華用厚恩待你。

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， 救我的眼免了流淚， 救我的腳免了跌倒。

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

我要在耶和華面前行活人之路。

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

我因信，所以如此說話； 我受了極大的困苦。

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

我曾急促地說： 人都是說謊的！

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

我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所賜的一切厚恩？

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

我要舉起救恩的杯， 稱揚耶和華的名。

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

我要在他眾民面前向耶和華還我的願。

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

在耶和華眼中， 看聖民之死極為寶貴。

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.

耶和華啊，我真是你的僕人； 我是你的僕人，是你婢女的兒子。 你已經解開我的綁索。

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

我要以感謝為祭獻給你， 又要求告耶和華的名。

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

我要在他眾民面前， 在耶和華殿的院內， 在耶路撒冷當中， 向耶和華還我的願。 你們要讚美耶和華！

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