诗篇 116
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
感谢拯救之恩
116 我爱耶和华，
因为祂垂听了我的呼求和祷告。
2 因为祂垂听我的祈求，
我一生都要向祂祷告。
3 死亡的绳索缠绕我，
阴间的恐怖笼罩我，
我被困苦和忧愁淹没。
4 于是，我求告耶和华，
说：“耶和华啊，求你拯救我。”
5 耶和华仁慈、公义，
我们的上帝充满怜悯。
6 耶和华保护心地单纯的人，
危难之时祂救了我。
7 我的心啊，再次安宁吧，
因为耶和华恩待你。
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 我要在世上事奉耶和华。
10 我相信，所以才说：
“我受尽了痛苦。”
11 我曾惊恐地说：
“人人都说谎。”
12 我拿什么报答耶和华赐给我的一切恩惠呢？
13 我要为耶和华的拯救之恩而举杯称颂祂的名。
14 我要在耶和华的子民面前还我向祂许的愿。
15 耶和华的眼目顾惜祂圣民的死亡。
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 我要向你献上感恩祭，
呼求你的名。
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！
Psalm 116
Amplified Bible
Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.
116 I love the Lord, because He hears [and continues to hear]
My voice and my supplications (my pleas, my cries, my specific needs).
2
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.
3
The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
4
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, please save my life!”
5
Gracious is the Lord, and [consistently] righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.
6
[a]The Lord protects the simple (childlike);
I was brought low [humbled and discouraged], and He saved me.
7
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.(A)
8
For You have rescued my life from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling and falling.
9
I will walk [in submissive wonder] before the Lord
In the land of the living.
10
I believed [and clung to my God] when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”(B)
11
I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.”
12
What will I give to the Lord [in return]
For all His benefits toward me?
[How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]
13
I will lift up the cup of salvation
And call on the name of the Lord.
14
I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people.
15
[b]Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones [so He watches over them].
16
O Lord, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid;
You have unfastened my chains.
17
I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the Lord.
18
I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people,
19
In the courts of the Lord’s house (temple)—
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
