Mazmur 116

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

I love the Lord, for he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

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

For he has inclined his ear to me: I will call upon him as long as I live.

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

About me were snares of death, the anguish of Sheol was upon me: distress and sorrow were mine. (Sheol h7585)

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

Then I called on the name of the Lord: “I beseech you, O Lord, deliver me.”

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

Gracious and just is the Lord, compassionate is our God.

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

The Lord preserves the simple; when I was drooping, he saved me.

7 Kutenangkan hatiku, sebab TUHAN baik kepadaku.

Be at peace, my heart, once more, for the Lord has been good to you.

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

You have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

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

Before the Lord I will walk in the land of the living.

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

I held fast my faith, though I said, “Ah me! I am sore afflicted,”

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

though in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”

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

What shall I render the Lord for all his bounty to me?

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

I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.

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

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

15 TUHAN sangat menyayangkan kematian seorang yang dikasihi-Nya.

Grave in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his loyal and loved ones.

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

Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds.

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

I will offer to you a thank-offering, and call on the name of the Lord.

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

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,

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

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
