< Psalmi 116 >

1 Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.
I rejoice that the LORD hath heard the voice of my supplication,
2 Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.
That he hath inclined his ear to me and heard me; I will call upon 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 snares of death encompassed me, And the pains of the underworld seized upon me; I found distress and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«
Then called I upon the LORD: O LORD! deliver me!
5 Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.
The LORD preserveth 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, O my soul! to thy rest! For the LORD hath dealt kindly with thee.
8 Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.
For thou hast preserved me from death; Thou hast kept mine eyes from tears, And my feet from falling!
9 Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.
I shall walk before the LORD, In the land of the living.
10 Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«
I had trust, although I said, “I am grievously afflicted!”
11 V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«
I said in my distress, “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 to me?
13 Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon 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, In the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD Is the death of his holy ones.
16 Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.
Hear, O LORD! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid! Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon 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 In the presence of all his people,
19 na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
In the courts of the house of the LORD, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
