Psalms 116

1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.

我爱耶和华， 因为他听了我的声音和我的恳求。

2 Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.

他既向我侧耳， 我一生要求告他。

3 I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (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 cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”

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 so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!

耶和华有恩惠，有公义； 我们的 神以怜悯为怀。

6 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.

耶和华保护愚人； 我落到卑微的地步，他救了我。

7 I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.

我的心哪！你要仍归安乐， 因为耶和华用厚恩待你。

8 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.

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 Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.

我要在耶和华面前行活人之路。

10 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”

我因信，所以如此说话； 我受了极大的困苦。

11 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”

我曾急促地说： 人都是说谎的！

12 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?

我拿什么报答耶和华向我所赐的一切厚恩？

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.

我要举起救恩的杯， 称扬耶和华的名。

14 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.

我要在他众民面前向耶和华还我的愿。

15 It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.

在耶和华眼中， 看圣民之死极为宝贵。

16 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.

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 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.

我要以感谢为祭献给你， 又要求告耶和华的名。

18 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,

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 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
