Psalmi 116

1 Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.

I love the Lord, for he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

2 Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.

For he has inclined his ear to 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)

About me were snares of death, the anguish of Sheol was upon me: distress and sorrow were mine. (Sheol h7585)

4 Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«

Then I called on the name of the Lord: “I beseech you, O Lord, deliver me.”

5 Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.

Gracious and just is the Lord, compassionate is our God.

6 Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.

The Lord preserves the simple; when I was drooping, he saved me.

7 Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.

Be at peace, my heart, once more, for the Lord has been good to you.

8 Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.

You have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9 Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.

Before the Lord I will walk in the land of the living.

10 Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«

I held fast my faith, though I said, “Ah me! I am sore afflicted,”

11 V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«

though in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”

12 Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?

What shall I render the Lord for all his bounty to me?

13 Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.

I will lift up 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 in the presence of all his people.

15 Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.

Grave in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his loyal and loved ones.

16 Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.

Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds.

17 Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.

I will offer to you a thank-offering, and 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 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 you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
