诗篇 116
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱謝 神拯救得免死亡
116 我愛耶和華，
因為他聽了我的聲音、我的懇求。
2 因為他留心聽我的懇求，
我一生一世要求告他。
3 死亡的繩索纏繞著我，
陰間的痛苦抓住我；
我遭遇患難和愁苦。
4 那時，我呼求耶和華的名，說：
“耶和華啊！求你拯救我。”
5 耶和華有恩典，有公義，
我們的 神滿有憐憫。
6 耶和華保護愚蒙人，
我落到卑微的地步，他拯救了我。
7 我的心哪！你要回復安寧，
因為耶和華用厚恩待你。
8 主啊！你救了我的性命脫離死亡，
你使我的眼睛不致流淚，
使我的雙腳不致跌倒。
9 我要在活人之地，
行在耶和華面前。
10 我雖然說：“我受了極大的痛苦”，
但我仍然相信。
11 我在驚惶之中曾說：
“人都是說謊的。”
12 我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所施的一切厚恩呢？
13 我要舉起救恩的杯，
稱揚耶和華的名。
14 我要在耶和華的眾民面前，
向他還我所許的願。
15 在耶和華的眼中看來，
聖民的死極為寶貴。
16 耶和華啊！我真是你的僕人；
我是你僕人，你婢女的兒子；
我的鎖鍊你給我解開了。
17 我要把感恩祭獻給你，
我要稱揚耶和華的名。
18 我要在耶和華的眾民面前，
向他還我所許的願。
19 耶路撒冷啊！就是在你的中間，
在耶和華殿的院子裡，我要還我所許的願。
你們要讚美耶和華。

Thanksgiving for Escaping Death
116 I love the Lord,
because he ·listens to my prayers for help [L hears/or heard my voice, my prayer of supplication].
2 He ·paid attention [L extends his ear] to me,
so I will ·call to him for help [call; pray] ·as long as I live [L in my days].
3 The ·ropes [cords] of death ·bound [encompass] me,
and the ·fear [hardship; distress] of ·the grave [L Sheol; C the grave or the underworld] ·took hold of [reached; found] me.
I ·was troubled and sad [L found distress and sadness].
4 Then I ·called out [prayed in] the name of the Lord.
I said, “Please, Lord, ·save [rescue] me!”
5 The Lord is ·kind [gracious] and ·does what is right [righteous];
our God is ·merciful [compassionate; Ex. 34:6–7].
6 The Lord ·watches over [keeps; guards] the ·foolish [immature; simpleminded];
when I was ·helpless [brought low], he ·saved me [gave me victory].
7 I said to myself, “·Relax [L Return, my soul/life to your rest],
because the Lord ·takes care of you [treats you well].”
8 Lord, you ·saved [rescued] me from death.
·You stopped my eyes from crying [L …and my eyes from tears];
·you kept me from being defeated [L …my feet from stumbling].
9 So I will walk ·with [before; in the presence of] the Lord
in the land of the living [C as opposed to the grave].
10 I ·believed [trusted], so I said,
“I am ·completely ruined [afflicted greatly; 2 Cor. 4:13].”
11 In my ·distress [worry] I said,
“All people are liars [Rom. 3:4].”
12 What can I ·give [L return to] the Lord
for all the ·good things [benefits] he has given to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation,
and I will pray ·to [L in the name of] the Lord.
14 I will ·give the Lord what I promised [pay my vow to the Lord]
in front of all his people.
15 The death of ·one that belongs to the Lord [his loyal ones/saints]
is precious in his ·sight [L eyes].
16 Lord, I am your servant;
I am your servant and the son of your female servant.
You have ·freed me from [loosened] my chains.
17 I will give you ·an offering to show thanks to you [a thanksgiving offering],
and I will pray ·to [L in the name of] the Lord.
18 I will ·give the Lord what I promised [pay my vow to the Lord]
in front of all his people,
19 in the ·Temple courtyards [L courtyards of the house of the Lord]
in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!
