Psalms 116

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

我爱耶和华， 因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。

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

他既向我侧耳， 我一生要求告他。

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

死亡的绳索缠绕我； 阴间的痛苦抓住我； 我遭遇患难愁苦。 (Sheol h7585)

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

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 merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

耶和华有恩惠，有公义； 我们的 神以怜悯为怀。

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

耶和华保护愚人； 我落到卑微的地步，他救了我。

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

我的心哪！你要仍归安乐， 因为耶和华用厚恩待你。

8 For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, 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 please the Lord in the land of the living.

我要在耶和华面前行活人之路。

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

我因信，所以如此说话； 我受了极大的困苦。

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

我曾急促地说： 人都是说谎的！

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

我拿什么报答耶和华向我所赐的一切厚恩？

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

我要举起救恩的杯， 称扬耶和华的名。

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

我要在他众民面前向耶和华还我的愿。

15 Precious in the sight 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, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

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 sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon 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 pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of 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 courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
