Psalmi 116

I love Yahweh, because he hears me when I cry for him to help me.
2 Što prignu k meni uho svoje; i zato æu ga u sve dane svoje prizivati.
He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.
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 Ali prizvah ime Gospodnje: Gospode! izbavi dušu moju!
[But] then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”

Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully [to us].
6 Èuva proste Gospod; bijah u nevolji, i pomože mi.

7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u mir svoj! jer je Gospod dobrotvor tvoj!
I must encourage/tell myself to (have inner peace/not worry any more), because Yahweh has done very good things for me.
8 Ti si izbavio dušu moju od smrti, oko moje od suza, nogu moju od spoticanja.
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 Hodiæu pred licem Gospodnjim po zemlji živijeh.
