Psalms 116

1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.*116.2 as long…: Heb. in my days

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.*116.3 gat…: Heb. found me

4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

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

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

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

16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

称谢 神拯救得免死亡

1 我爱耶和华，

因为他听了我的声音、我的恳求。

2 因为他留心听我的恳求，

我一生一世要求告他。

3 死亡的绳索缠绕着我，

阴间的痛苦抓住我；

我遭遇患难和愁苦。

4 那时，我呼求耶和华的名，说：

"耶和华啊！求你拯救我。"

5 耶和华有恩典，有公义，

我们的　神满有怜悯。

6 耶和华保护愚蒙人，

我落到卑微的地步，他拯救了我。

7 我的心哪！你要回复安宁，

因为耶和华用厚恩待你。

8 主啊！你救了我的性命脱离死亡，

你使我的眼睛不致流泪，

使我的双脚不致跌倒。

9 我要在活人之地，

行在耶和华面前。

10 我虽然说："我受了极大的痛苦"，

但我仍然相信。

11 我在惊惶之中曾说：

"人都是说谎的。"

12 我拿甚么报答耶和华向我所施的一切厚恩呢？

13 我要举起救恩的杯，

称扬耶和华的名。

14 我要在耶和华的众民面前，

向他还我所许的愿。

15 在耶和华的眼中看来，

圣民的死极为宝贵。

16 耶和华啊！我真是你的仆人；

我是你仆人，你婢女的儿子；

我的锁炼你给我解开了。

17 我要把感恩祭献给你，

我要称扬耶和华的名。

18 我要在耶和华的众民面前，

向他还我所许的愿。

19 耶路撒冷啊！就是在你的中间，

在耶和华殿的院子里，我要还我所许的愿。

你们要赞美耶和华。
