Ψαλμοί 116
1 αλληλουια ἠγάπησα ὅτι εἰσακούσεται κύριος τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεώς μου
I LOVE the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 ὅτι ἔκλινεν τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοί καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου ἐπικαλέσομαι
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπεκαλεσάμην ὦ κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου
Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 ἐλεήμων ὁ κύριος καὶ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐλεᾷ
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 φυλάσσων τὰ νήπια ὁ κύριος ἐταπεινώθην καὶ ἔσωσέν με
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου ὅτι κύριος εὐηργέτησέν σε
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 ὅτι ἐξείλατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἀπὸ δακρύων καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου ἀπὸ ὀλισθήματος
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 εὐαρεστήσω ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 αλληλουια ἐπίστευσα διὸ ἐλάλησα ἐγὼ δὲ ἐταπεινώθην σφόδρα
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 ἐγὼ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 τί ἀνταποδώσω τῷ κυρίῳ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἀνταπέδωκέν μοι
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13 ποτήριον σωτηρίου λήμψομαι καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικαλέσομαι
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15 τίμιος ἐναντίον κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 ὦ κύριε ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός ἐγὼ δοῦλος σὸς καὶ υἱὸς τῆς παιδίσκης σου διέρρηξας τοὺς δεσμούς μου
O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 σοὶ θύσω θυσίαν αἰνέσεως
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18 τὰς εὐχάς μου τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποδώσω ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ
I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,
19 ἐν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου ἐν μέσῳ σου Ιερουσαλημ
In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
