Psalmi 116
1 Es mīlu(to Kungu), ka Tas Kungs klausa manu balsi un manu pielūgšanu.
I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me.
2 Jo Viņš griež Savu ausi pie manis, tādēļ es Viņu piesaukšu visu mūžu.
He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.
3 Nāves saites mani bija apņēmušas, un elles bēdas man bija uzgājušas, bēdas un bailes man nāca virsū. (Sheol h7585)
Everything around me [MET] caused me to think that I would die; I was very afraid that I would [die and go to] the place where dead people are. I was very distressed/worried and afraid. (Sheol h7585)
4 Bet es piesaucu Tā Kunga vārdu: ak Kungs, izglāb manu dvēseli!
[But] then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”
5 Tas Kungs ir žēlīgs un taisns, un mūsu Dievs ir sirds žēlīgs.
Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully [to us].
6 Tas Kungs pasargā vientiesīgos; kad es biju bēdās, tad Viņš man palīdzēja.
He protects those who (are helpless/cannot defend themselves); and when I thought that I would die, he saved me.
7 Esi atkal mierā, mana dvēsele, jo Tas Kungs tev dara labu.
I must encourage/tell myself to (have inner peace/not worry any more), because Yahweh has done very good things for me.
8 Jo tu manu dvēseli esi izglābis no nāves, manas acis no asarām, manu kāju no slīdēšanas.
Yahweh has saved me [SYN] from dying, and has kept/protected me from [troubles that would cause me to] cry. He has kept/protected me from stumbling.
9 Es staigāšu Tā Kunga priekšā dzīvo zemē.
[So here] on the earth, where people are still alive, I live knowing that Yahweh is [directing] me.
10 Es ticu, tāpēc es runāju. Es biju ļoti apbēdināts;
I continued to believe/trust [in Yahweh], even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted/troubled.”
11 Es sacīju savās bailēs: visi cilvēki ir melkuļi.
[Even] when I was distressed/worried and said, “I cannot trust anyone,” [I continued to trust in Yahweh].
12 Kā es Tam Kungam maksāšu visas labdarīšanas, ko Viņš pie manis darījis?
So now [I will tell you] [RHQ] what I will offer to Yahweh, because of all the good things that he has done for me.
13 Es pacelšu to pestīšanas biķeri un piesaukšu Tā Kunga vārdu.

Yahweh is very grieved/sad when one of his people dies.
16 Ak Kungs, es esmu tiešām Tavs kalps, es esmu Tavs kalps, Tavas kalpones dēls, Tu manas saites esi atraisījis.
I am one of those who serve Yahweh; I serve him like my mother did. He has freed/saved me from dying (OR, from being fastened by chains).
17 Tev es upurēšu pateicības upurus un piesaukšu Tā Kunga vārdu.
[So] I will offer to him a sacrifice to thank him, and I will pray to him.
18 Es maksāšu Tam Kungam savus solījumus visu Viņa ļaužu priekšā,
When I am together with many of [HYP] the people who belong to Yahweh, [in the courtyard] outside his temple in Jerusalem, I will give to him the offerings that I solemnly promised to give to him. Praise Yahweh!
