Sálmarnir 116
Icelandic Bible
116 Ég elska Drottin, af því að hann heyrir grátbeiðni mína.
2 Hann hefir hneigt eyra sitt að mér, og alla ævi vil ég ákalla hann.
3 Snörur dauðans umkringdu mig, angist Heljar mætti mér, ég mætti nauðum og harmi.
4 Þá ákallaði ég nafn Drottins: "Ó, Drottinn, bjarga sál minni!"
5 Náðugur er Drottinn og réttlátur, og vor Guð er miskunnsamur.
6 Drottinn varðveitir varnarlausa, þegar ég var máttvana hjálpaði hann mér.
7 Verð þú aftur róleg, sála mín, því að Drottinn gjörir vel til þín.
8 Já, þú hreifst sál mína frá dauða, auga mitt frá gráti, fót minn frá hrösun.
9 Ég geng frammi fyrir Drottni á landi lifenda.
10 Ég trúði, þó ég segði: "Ég er mjög beygður."
11 Ég sagði í angist minni: "Allir menn ljúga."
12 Hvað á ég að gjalda Drottni fyrir allar velgjörðir hans við mig?
13 Ég lyfti upp bikar hjálpræðisins og ákalla nafn Drottins.
14 Ég greiði Drottni heit mín, og það í augsýn alls lýðs hans.
15 Dýr er í augum Drottins dauði dýrkenda hans.
16 Æ, Drottinn, víst er ég þjónn þinn, ég er þjónn þinn, sonur ambáttar þinnar, þú leystir fjötra mína.
17 Þér færi ég þakkarfórn og ákalla nafn Drottins.
18 Ég greiði Drottni heit mín, og það í augsýn alls lýðs hans,
19 í forgörðum húss Drottins, í þér, Jerúsalem. Halelúja.

Psalm 116

Psalm 116
1 I love the Lord,(A) for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry(B) for mercy.(C)
2 Because he turned his ear(D) to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death(E) entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name(F) of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!(G)”
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;(H)
our God is full of compassion.(I)
6 The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low,(J) he saved me.(K)
8 For you, Lord, have delivered me(N) from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9 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]
