< Salme 116 >

1 Halleluja! Jeg elsker HERREN, thi han hører min Røst, min tryglende Bøn,
I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
2 ja, han bøjed sit Øre til mig, jeg paakaldte HERRENS Navn.
For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
3 Dødens Baand omspændte mig, Dødsrigets Angster greb mig, i Trængsel og Nød var jeg stedt. (Sheol h7585)
The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
4 Jeg paakaldte HERRENS Navn: »Ak, HERRE, frels min Sjæl!«
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
5 Naadig er HERREN og retfærdig, barmhjertig, det er vor Gud;
Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
6 HERREN vogter enfoldige, jeg var ringe, dog frelste han mig.
Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Vend tilbage, min Sjæl, til din Ro, thi HERREN har gjort vel imod dig!
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Ja, han fried min Sjæl fra Døden, mit Øje fra Graad, min Fod fra Fald.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9 Jeg vandrer for HERRENS Aasyn udi de levendes Land;
I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 jeg troede, derfor talte jeg, saare elendig var jeg,
I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
11 sagde saa i min Angst: »Alle Mennesker lyver!«
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Hvorledes skal jeg gengælde HERREN alle hans Velgerninger mod mig?
What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
13 Jeg vil løfte Frelsens Bæger og paakalde HERRENS Navn.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
14 Jeg vil indfri HERREN mine Løfter i Paasyn af alt hans Folk.
I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
15 Kostbar i HERRENS Øjne er hans frommes Død.
Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
16 Ak, HERRE, jeg er jo din Tjener, din Tjener, din Tjenerindes Søn, mine Lænker har du løst.
Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 Jeg vil ofre dig Lovprisningsoffer og paakalde HERRENS Navn;
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18 mine Løfter vil jeg indfri HERREN i Paasyn af alt hans Folk
I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
19 i HERRENS Hus's Forgaarde og i din Midte, Jerusalem!
In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
