Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

我對上主愛慕傾心，因祂俯聽我的禱聲；

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

在我呼籲祂的那日，祂向我側祂的聖耳。

3 The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

死亡的圈套纏住了我，陰府的羅網縛住了我， (Sheol h7585)

4 And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

我呼求了上主的聖名，上主，求您救我的性命。

5 The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

上主富有憐憫和正義，我們的天主仁愛無比；

6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

上主，保護誠樸的人，我若軟弱，祂必救助。

7 Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

我的靈魂，您回到您的安息，因為上主實在是厚待了您。

8 For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

因為祂救拔我的靈魂脫免死亡，不使我的眼睛流淚，不使我的腳跌傷。

9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

我要在人的地域，在上主的面前行走。

10 I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

雖然說我已痛苦萬分，但是我仍然抱有信心。

11 I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

我在彷徨中曾說：眾人都虛詐不誠。

12 What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

我要怎樣報謝上主，謝祂賜給我的一切恩佑？

13 I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

我要舉起救恩的杯，我要呼顅上主的名，

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

我要在眾百姓面前，向上主還我的誓願。

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

上主的聖者的去世，在上主的眼中十分珍貴。

16 O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

我的上主！我是您的僕役，您僕役是您婢女的兒子；您將我的鎖鏈給我開釋，

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

我要給您奉獻讚頌之祭，我要呼號上主的名字。

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

我要在眾百姓面前，向上主還我的誓願，

19 In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

要在上主聖殿的庭院，耶路撒冷! 即在您中間。
