Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
What shall I render unto Jehovah, [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 upon the name of Jehovah.
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
