Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.
αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου
2 Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.
ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι
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)
περιέσχον με ὠδῖνες θανάτου κίνδυνοι ᾅδου εὕροσάν με θλῖψιν καὶ ὀδύνην εὗρον (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”
καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου
5 The Lord is so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!
ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ
6 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.
φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με
7 I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.
ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε
8 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος
9 Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.
εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων
10 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”
αλληλουια ἐπίστευσα διὸ ἐλάλησα ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα
11 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”
ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης
12 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?
τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.
ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήμψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι
14 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.
15 It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.
τίμιος ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ
16 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.
ὦ κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου
17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.
σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως
18 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,
τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
19 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου Ιερουσαλημ
