< Psalms 116 >
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Dovolj mi je, da Gospod usliši glas moj, molitve moje.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Ker je uho svoje nagnil meni, zatorej ga bodem klical svoje dni.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol )
Ko me obdajajo smrtne bolečine, in me obhajajo grobne stiske; nadlogo in žalost nahajam. (Sheol )
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."
Če kličem ime Gospodovo, govoreč: "Rotim te, Gospod, reši dušo mojo!"
5 The LORD is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Milosten je Gospod, in pravičen, Bog naš, pravim, usmiljen.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Preproste rešuje Gospod; ko sem ponižan, prinese mi blaginjo.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Povrni se v pokoj svoj, duša moja, ker Gospod je dobrotljiv tebi.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Ker si otél mene samega smrti, oči moje sólz, nogo mojo padca,
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Neprestano bodem hodil pred Gospodom, v krajih živečih.
10 I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
Veroval sem, ko sem hotel to govoriti; jaz sem bil aboten čez mero.
11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
Jaz sem rekel hiteč: Vsak človek je lažnjiv.
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Kaj naj povrnem Gospodu? Vse dobrote njegove me premagujejo.
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
Čašo vse blaginje bodem povzdignil in slavil ime Gospodovo,
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
Obljube svoje opravljajoč Gospodu, skôraj pred vsem ljudstvom njegovim.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones.
Draga je pred obličjem Gospodovim smrt njih, katerim izkazuje milost.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
Prosim, Gospod, ko sem jaz hlapec tvoj, hlapec tvoj sem, dekle tvoje sin; raztrgal si vezí moje:
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD.
Tebi naj darujem hvalno daritev, in slavim ime Gospodovo.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
Obljube svoje bodem opravljal Gospodu skoraj pred vsem ljudstvom njegovim;
19 in the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
V vežah hiše Gospodove, sredi tebe, Jeruzalem. Aleluja!
