Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy.

1 我爱耶和华， 因为祂垂听了我的呼求和祷告。

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

2 因为祂侧耳听我的祈求， 我一生都要求告祂。

3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.

3 死亡的绳索缠绕我， 阴间的恐怖笼罩我， 我陷入困苦和忧愁。

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”

4 于是，我求告耶和华的名， 说：“耶和华啊，求你救我。”

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

5 耶和华仁慈、公义， 我们的上帝充满怜悯。

6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.

6 耶和华保护心地单纯的人， 危难之时祂拯救了我。

7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

7 我的心啊，恢复安宁吧， 因为耶和华恩待你。

8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

8 祂救我的性命脱离死亡， 止住我眼中的泪水， 使我双脚免于滑倒。

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

9 我要在世上事奉耶和华。

10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

10 我相信，所以才说： “我受尽了痛苦。”

11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

11 我曾惊恐地说： “人人都说谎。”

12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?

12 我拿什么报答耶和华赐给我的一切恩惠呢？

13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

13 我要因耶和华的拯救之恩举杯称颂祂的名。

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

14 我要在耶和华的子民面前还我向祂许的愿。

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

15 耶和华的眼目顾惜祂圣民的存亡。

16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

16 耶和华啊！我是你的仆人， 是你的仆人，是你婢女的儿子。 你除去了我的锁链。

17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

17 我要向你献上感恩祭， 求告耶和华的名。

18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,

18–19 我要在耶路撒冷， 在耶和华的殿中， 在耶和华的子民面前还我向祂许的愿。 你们要赞美耶和华！

19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
