Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol (Sheol h7585) got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
17 Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
