PSALMS 诗篇116

1I love the Lord , for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3The cords of death entangled¹ me, the anguish² of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord : "O Lord , save me!"
5The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion³.
6The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
7Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
8For you, O Lord , have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted⁴."
11And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars⁵."
12How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?
13I will lift up the cup of salvation⁶ and call on the name of the Lord .
14I will fulfill⁷ my vows⁸ to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16O Lord , truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant ; you have freed me from my chains.
17I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord .
18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of the house of the Lord - in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord .
