Louange pour la délivrance accordée

116 J’aime l’Eternel, car il entend[a]
Ma voix, mes supplications;
Car il a penché son oreille vers moi;
Et je l’invoquerai toute ma vie.
Les liens de la mort m’avaient environné,
Et les angoisses du séjour des morts[b] m’avaient saisi;
J’étais en proie à la détresse et à la douleur.
Mais j’invoquai le nom de l’Eternel:
O Eternel, sauve mon âme!
L’Eternel est miséricordieux et juste,
Notre Dieu est plein de compassion;
L’Eternel garde les simples;
J’étais malheureux, et il m’a sauvé.
Mon âme, retourne à ton repos,
Car l’Eternel t’a fait du bien.
Oui, tu as délivré mon âme de la mort,
Mes yeux des larmes,
Mes pieds de la chute.
Je marcherai devant l’Eternel,
Sur la terre des vivants.
10 J’avais confiance, lorsque je disais[c]:
Je suis bien malheureux!
11 Je disais dans mon angoisse:
Tout homme est trompeur.
12 Comment rendrai-je à l’Eternel
Tous ses bienfaits envers moi?
13 J’élèverai la coupe des délivrances,
Et j’invoquerai le nom de l’Eternel;
14 J’accomplirai mes vœux envers l’Eternel,
En présence de tout son peuple.
15 Elle a du prix aux yeux de l’Eternel,
La mort de ceux qui l’aiment.
16 Ecoute-moi, ô Eternel! car je suis ton serviteur,
Ton serviteur, fils de ta servante.
Tu as détaché mes liens.
17 Je t’offrirai un sacrifice d’actions de grâces,
Et j’invoquerai le nom de l’Eternel;
18 J’accomplirai mes vœux envers l’Eternel,
En présence de tout son peuple,
19 Dans les parvis de la maison de l’Eternel,
Au milieu de toi, Jérusalem! Louez l’Eternel!

Psalm 116

I love the Lord,(A) for he heard my voice;
    he heard my cry(B) for mercy.(C)
Because he turned his ear(D) to me,
    I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death(E) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name(F) of the Lord:
    Lord, save me!(G)

The Lord is gracious and righteous;(H)
    our God is full of compassion.(I)
The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low,(J) he saved me.(K)

Return to your rest,(L) my soul,
    for the Lord has been good(M) to you.

For you, Lord, have delivered me(N) from death,
    my eyes from tears,
    my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord(O)
    in the land of the living.(P)

10 I trusted(Q) in the Lord when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;(R)
11 in my alarm I said,
    “Everyone is a liar.”(S)

12 What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness(T) to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name(U) of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows(V) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight(W) of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.(X)
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;(Y)
    I serve you just as my mother did;(Z)
    you have freed me from my chains.(AA)

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering(AB) to you
    and call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows(AC) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts(AD) of the house of the Lord
    in your midst, Jerusalem.(AE)

Praise the Lord.[a]

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

116 I (A)love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

(B)The [a]pains of death surrounded me,
And the [b]pangs of Sheol [c]laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

(C)Gracious is the Lord, and (D)righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
Return to your (E)rest, O my soul,
For (F)the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

(G)For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord
(H)In the land of the living.
10 (I)I believed, therefore I spoke,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 (J)I said in my haste,
(K)“All men are liars.”

12 What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
14 (L)I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people.

15 (M)Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints.

16 O Lord, truly (N)I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, (O)the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to You (P)the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people,
19 In the (Q)courts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

[d]Praise the Lord!
