< Psalms 116 >

1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
