Psalms 116

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

Aku mencintai TUHAN, sebab Ia mendengarkan aku dan memperhatikan permohonanku.

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

Ia mendengarkan aku, setiap kali aku berseru kepada-Nya.

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

Aku diancam bahaya maut; kengerian maut menyergap aku, membuat aku gelisah dan takut. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I plead to you, deliver my soul.

Maka aku berseru kepada TUHAN, "Ya TUHAN, aku mohon, selamatkanlah aku!"

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

TUHAN itu pengasih dan adil; Allah kita penuh belas kasihan.

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

TUHAN memelihara orang-orang sederhana; waktu aku tak berdaya diselamatkan-Nya aku.

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

Kutenangkan hatiku, sebab TUHAN baik kepadaku.

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

TUHAN telah meluputkan aku dari kematian; dihibur-Nya aku dan tidak dibiarkan-Nya terjatuh.

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

Maka aku boleh menikmati hidup di dunia ini, di dalam perlindungan TUHAN.

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

Aku tetap percaya, sekalipun aku berkata, "Aku sangat tertekan."

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

Dalam kebingunganku aku berkata, "Tak seorang pun dapat dipercaya."

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

Apa yang akan kuberikan kepada TUHAN untuk membalas kebaikan-Nya bagiku?

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

Aku akan membawa persembahan anggur bagi TUHAN untuk bersyukur atas pertolongan-Nya.

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

Aku akan memenuhi janjiku kepada-Nya di depan seluruh umat-Nya.

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

TUHAN sangat menyayangkan kematian seorang yang dikasihi-Nya.

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

Aku ini hamba-Mu, ya TUHAN, seperti ibuku, aku pun berbakti kepada-Mu Engkau telah melepaskan aku dari tahanan.

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

Aku akan membawa kurban syukur kepada-Mu, sambil mengunjukkan doa kepada-Mu.

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

Aku akan memenuhi janjiku kepada TUHAN, di depan seluruh umat-Nya

19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise all of you the LORD.

yang berhimpun di pelataran Rumah TUHAN, di tengah kota Yerusalem. Pujilah TUHAN!
