Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Aku mengasihi TUHAN, sebab Ia mendengarkan suaraku dan permohonanku.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Sebab Ia menyendengkan telinga-Nya kepadaku, maka seumur hidupku aku akan berseru kepada-Nya.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Tali-tali maut telah meliliti aku, dan kegentaran terhadap dunia orang mati menimpa aku, aku mengalami kesesakan dan kedukaan. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
Tetapi aku menyerukan nama TUHAN: "Ya TUHAN, luputkanlah kiranya aku!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
TUHAN adalah pengasih dan adil, Allah kita penyayang.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
TUHAN memelihara orang-orang sederhana; aku sudah lemah, tetapi diselamatkan-Nya aku.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Kembalilah tenang, hai jiwaku, sebab TUHAN telah berbuat baik kepadamu.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Ya, Engkau telah meluputkan aku dari pada maut, dan mataku dari pada air mata, dan kakiku dari pada tersandung.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Aku boleh berjalan di hadapan TUHAN, di negeri orang-orang hidup.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
Aku percaya, sekalipun aku berkata: "Aku ini sangat tertindas."
11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
Aku ini berkata dalam kebingunganku: "Semua manusia pembohong."
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Bagaimana akan kubalas kepada TUHAN segala kebajikan-Nya kepadaku?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
Aku akan mengangkat piala keselamatan, dan akan menyerukan nama TUHAN,
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
akan membayar nazarku kepada TUHAN di depan seluruh umat-Nya.
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his holy ones.
Berharga di mata TUHAN kematian semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
Ya TUHAN, aku hamba-Mu! Aku hamba-Mu, anak dari hamba-Mu perempuan! Engkau telah membuka ikatan-ikatanku!
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.
Aku akan mempersembahkan korban syukur kepada-Mu, dan akan menyerukan nama TUHAN,
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
akan membayar nazarku kepada TUHAN di depan seluruh umat-Nya,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
di pelataran rumah TUHAN, di tengah-tengahmu, ya Yerusalem! Haleluya!
