Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I rejoice that the LORD hath heard the voice of my supplication,
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
That he hath inclined his ear to me and heard me; I will call upon him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me, And the pains of the underworld seized upon me; I found distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then called I upon the LORD: O LORD! deliver me!
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
Return, O my soul! to thy rest! For the LORD hath dealt kindly with thee.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
For thou hast preserved me from death; Thou hast kept mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling!
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
I shall walk before the LORD, In the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I had trust, although I said, “I am grievously afflicted!”
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
I said in my distress, “All men are liars.”
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
What shall I render to the LORD For all his benefits to me?
13 Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD;
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will pay my vows to the LORD, In the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD Is the death of his holy ones.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
Hear, O LORD! 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 the LORD.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will pay my vows to the LORD In the presence of all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
In the courts of the house of the LORD, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
