< Psalms 116 >

1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.
我爱耶和华， 因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。
2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.
他既向我侧耳， 我一生要求告他。
3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
死亡的绳索缠绕我； 阴间的痛苦抓住我； 我遭遇患难愁苦。 (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.
那时，我便求告耶和华的名，说： 耶和华啊，求你救我的灵魂！
5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.
耶和华有恩惠，有公义； 我们的 神以怜悯为怀。
6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.
耶和华保护愚人； 我落到卑微的地步，他救了我。
7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.
我的心哪！你要仍归安乐， 因为耶和华用厚恩待你。
8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.
主啊，你救我的命免了死亡， 救我的眼免了流泪， 救我的脚免了跌倒。
9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.
我要在耶和华面前行活人之路。
10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;
我因信，所以如此说话； 我受了极大的困苦。
11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.
我曾急促地说： 人都是说谎的！
12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?
我拿什么报答耶和华向我所赐的一切厚恩？
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.
我要举起救恩的杯， 称扬耶和华的名。
14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.
我要在他众民面前向耶和华还我的愿。
15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.
在耶和华眼中， 看圣民之死极为宝贵。
16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.
耶和华啊，我真是你的仆人； 我是你的仆人，是你婢女的儿子。 你已经解开我的绑索。
17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.
我要以感谢为祭献给你， 又要求告耶和华的名。
18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;
我要在他众民面前， 在耶和华殿的院内， 在耶路撒冷当中， 向耶和华还我的愿。 你们要赞美耶和华！
19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
