Psalms 116

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

Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:

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

uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.

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

Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol h7585)

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

Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”

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

Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.

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

Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.

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

Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.

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

On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.

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

Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.

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

Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”

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

U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”

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

Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?

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

Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.

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

Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.

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

Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.

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.

Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.

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

Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.

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

Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,

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

u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
