Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.
I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call on him as long as I live.
3 Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol h7585)
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold on me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«
Then called I on the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
5 Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
6 Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.
The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.
Return to your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?
What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD.
14 Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.
I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.
O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have loosed my bonds.
17 Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the LORD.
18 Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,
I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
19 na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, O Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.
