Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.

2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call on him as long as I live.

Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold on me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then called I on the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, deliver my soul.

Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.

Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.

6 The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.

7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«

12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.

Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.

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

Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.

16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds.

Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD.

Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,

19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, O Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.

na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
