Psalms 116

1 Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.

Aku mencintai TUHAN, sebab Ia mendengarkan aku dan memperhatikan permohonanku.

2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.

Ia mendengarkan aku, setiap kali aku berseru kepada-Nya.

3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Aku diancam bahaya maut; kengerian maut menyergap aku, membuat aku gelisah dan takut. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.

Maka aku berseru kepada TUHAN, "Ya TUHAN, aku mohon, selamatkanlah aku!"

5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.

TUHAN itu pengasih dan adil; Allah kita penuh belas kasihan.

6 The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.

TUHAN memelihara orang-orang sederhana; waktu aku tak berdaya diselamatkan-Nya aku.

7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

Kutenangkan hatiku, sebab TUHAN baik kepadaku.

8 For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

TUHAN telah meluputkan aku dari kematian; dihibur-Nya aku dan tidak dibiarkan-Nya terjatuh.

9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.

Maka aku boleh menikmati hidup di dunia ini, di dalam perlindungan TUHAN.

10 Alleluia. I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.

Aku tetap percaya, sekalipun aku berkata, "Aku sangat tertekan."

11 And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.

Dalam kebingunganku aku berkata, "Tak seorang pun dapat dipercaya."

12 What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?

Apa yang akan kuberikan kepada TUHAN untuk membalas kebaikan-Nya bagiku?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

Aku akan membawa persembahan anggur bagi TUHAN untuk bersyukur atas pertolongan-Nya.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.

Aku akan memenuhi janjiku kepada-Nya di depan seluruh umat-Nya.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

TUHAN sangat menyayangkan kematian seorang yang dikasihi-Nya.

16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst by bonds asunder.

Aku ini hamba-Mu, ya TUHAN, seperti ibuku, aku pun berbakti kepada-Mu Engkau telah melepaskan aku dari tahanan.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

Aku akan membawa kurban syukur kepada-Mu, sambil mengunjukkan doa kepada-Mu.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,

Aku akan memenuhi janjiku kepada TUHAN, di depan seluruh umat-Nya

19 in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.

yang berhimpun di pelataran Rumah TUHAN, di tengah kota Yerusalem. Pujilah TUHAN!
