Psalms 116

1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

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, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

在我呼籲祂的那日，祂向我側祂的聖耳。

3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found 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 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

我呼求了上主的聖名，上主，求您救我的性命。

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.

上主富有憐憫和正義，我們的天主仁愛無比；

6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

上主，保護誠樸的人，我若軟弱，祂必救助。

7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with 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 thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

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 shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.

我要在人的地域，在上主的面前行走。

10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

雖然說我已痛苦萬分，但是我仍然抱有信心。

11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

我在彷徨中曾說：眾人都虛詐不誠。

12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?

我要怎樣報謝上主，謝祂賜給我的一切恩佑？

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

我要舉起救恩的杯，我要呼顅上主的名，

14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of 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 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

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 offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and 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 unto the LORD, yea, in the presence 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 LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

要在上主聖殿的庭院，耶路撒冷! 即在您中間。
