ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 116
It is lovely to me that the Lord heareth my voice, my supplications.
For he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore throughout all my days will I call on him.
3 ੩ ਮੌਤ ਦੀਆਂ ਡੋਰੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਵਲ ਲਿਆ, ਪਤਾਲ ਦੇ ਦੁੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਣ ਲੱਭਿਆ, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਦੁੱਖ ਤੇ ਸੋਗ ਮਿਲਿਆ। (Sheol h7585)
The bands of death had compassed me, and the pangs of the nether world had overtaken me; I had met with distress and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
I then called on the name of the Lord, I beseech thee, O Lord, release my soul.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; and our God is merciful.
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.
Return, O my soul, unto thy rest; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 ੮ ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੀ ਜਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ, ਮੇਰੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਝੂਆਂ ਤੋਂ, ਮੇਰੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਲਕਣ ਤੋਂ ਛੁਡਾਇਆ ਹੈ।
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord in the land of life.
I believe, therefore will I speak: I was greatly afflicted;
I indeed said in my despondency, Every man is a liar.
What shall I give in return unto the Lord for all his bounties toward me?
The cup of salvation will I lift up, and on the name of the Lord will I call.
My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people.
Grievous in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his pious ones.
16 ੧੬ ਹੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ, ਮੈਂ ਸੱਚ-ਮੁੱਚ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਾਸ ਹਾਂ, ਮੈਂ ਤੇਰਾ ਹੀ ਦਾਸ ਹਾਂ, ਤੇਰੀ ਦਾਸੀ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ, ਤੂੰ ਤਾਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਬੰਧਨ ਖੋਲ੍ਹੇ ਹਨ।
O Lord, truly am I thy servant, I am thy servant, —the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosened my fetters.
Unto thee will I offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and on the name of the Lord will I call.
My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people,
In the courts of the house of the Lord, in thy midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
