< Psalms 116 >
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol (Sheol ) got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol )
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«
11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.
Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.
Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
