Psalmi 116

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

I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.

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

Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

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

The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

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

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”

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

Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.

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

Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.

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

My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.

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

For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

9 Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.

I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.

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

I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

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

In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”

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

How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?

13 Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.

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

I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.

15 Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.

Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.

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

Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.

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

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.

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

I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,

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

in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
