1Io amo il Signore perché ha udito la mia voce e le mie suppliche.2Poiché ha teso l’orecchio verso di me, io lo invocherò per tutta la mia vita.3I legami della morte mi avevano circondato, le angosce del soggiorno dei morti mi avevano colto; mi avevano raggiunto la disgrazia e il dolore.4Ma io invocai il nome del Signore: «Signore, libera l’anima mia!»5Il Signore è pietoso e giusto, il nostro Dio è misericordioso.6Il Signore protegge i semplici; io ero ridotto in misero stato ed egli mi ha salvato.7Ritorna, anima mia, al tuo riposo, perché il Signore ti ha colmata di grazie.8Tu hai preservato l’anima mia dalla morte, i miei occhi dalle lacrime, i miei piedi da cadute.9Io camminerò alla presenza del Signore sulla terra dei viventi.10Ho creduto, perciò ho parlato. Io ero molto afflitto.11Dicevo nel mio turbamento: «Ogni uomo è bugiardo».12Che potrò ricambiare al Signore per tutti i benefici che mi ha fatti?13Io alzerò il calice della salvezza e invocherò il nome del Signore.14Scioglierò i miei voti al Signore e lo farò in presenza di tutto il suo popolo.15È preziosa agli occhi del Signore la morte dei suoi fedeli.16Sì, o Signore, io sono il tuo servo, sono tuo servo, figlio della tua serva; tu hai spezzato le mie catene.17Io ti offrirò un sacrificio di lode e invocherò il nome del Signore.18Adempirò le mie promesse al Signore e lo farò in presenza di tutto il suo popolo,19nei cortili della casa del Signore, in mezzo a te, o Gerusalemme. Alleluia.
1Ich liebe den HERRN, denn er hört meine Stimme, mein Flehen. (1Re 9,3; Sal 18,2; Gion 2,3; Giov 21,15)2Ja, er hat zu mir geneigt sein Ohr; und an ⟨allen⟩ meinen Tagen werde ich ⟨ihn an⟩rufen. (Sal 28,6; Sal 31,3)3Es umfingen mich die Fesseln des Todes, die Ängste des Scheols erreichten mich. Ich geriet in[1] Not und Kummer. (Sal 18,5)4Da rief ich den Namen des HERRN an: »Bitte, HERR, rette meine Seele!« (Sal 6,5)5Gnädig ist der HERR und gerecht, und unser Gott ist barmherzig. (Sal 112,4)6Der HERR behütet die Einfältigen. Ich war schwach, doch er hat mich gerettet.7Kehre zurück, meine Seele, zu deiner Ruhe! Denn der HERR hat dir Gutes erwiesen.8Denn du hast meine Seele vom Tod gerettet, meine Augen von Tränen, meinen Fuß vom Sturz. (Is 25,8; Giuda 1,24)9Ich werde wandeln vor dem HERRN in den Landen der Lebendigen. (Sal 27,13; Sal 56,14)10Ich habe geglaubt, darum kann ich sagen[2]: »Ich bin sehr gebeugt gewesen.« (2Co 4,13)11Ich sprach in meiner Bestürzung: »Alle Menschen sind Lügner!« (Sal 12,2; Ro 3,4)12Wie soll ich dem HERRN vergelten alle seine Wohltaten an mir? (Mi 6,6)13Den Becher der Rettungen will ich erheben und den Namen des HERRN anrufen.14Ich will dem HERRN meine Gelübde erfüllen, ja, vor seinem ganzen Volk! (Sal 22,26; Sal 65,2)15Kostbar ist in den Augen des HERRN der Tod seiner Getreuen. (Sal 72,14)16Ach, HERR, ich bin ja dein Knecht! Ich bin dein Knecht, der Sohn deiner Magd! Gelöst hast du meine Fesseln! (Sal 86,16; Sal 119,125; Sal 143,12)17Dir will ich ein Dankopfer bringen, anrufen will ich den Namen des HERRN! (Sal 107,22; Lu 13,13)18Ich will dem HERRN meine Gelübde erfüllen, ja, vor seinem ganzen Volk, (Sal 22,26; Sal 65,2)19in den Vorhöfen des Hauses des HERRN, in deiner Mitte, Jerusalem! Halleluja! (Sal 96,8)
Salmo 116
King James Version
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:11I said in my haste, All men are liars.12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now 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 thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,19In the courts of the LORD' house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
1I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. (Sal 18,1; Sal 66,19; Sal 118,21)2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. (Sal 31,2)3The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. (Sal 18,4)4Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!” (Sal 18,6; Sal 118,5)5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful. (Esd 9,15; Ne 9,8; Sal 7,9; Sal 62,12; Sal 86,15; Sal 119,137; Sal 145,17; Ger 12,1; Da 9,7)6The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. (Sal 19,7; Sal 79,8; Sal 142,6)7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. (Sal 13,6; Ger 6,16; Mat 11,28)8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; (Sal 49,15; Sal 56,13; Sal 86,13)9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. (Sal 27,13)10I believed, even when[1] I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; (Sal 39,3; 2Co 4,13)11I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” (Sal 31,22; Sal 62,9)12What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? (2Cr 32,25)13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, (Sal 16,5; Sal 99,6; Sal 105,1)14I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. (Sal 50,14)15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (Sal 50,5; Sal 72,14)16O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. (Giob 12,18; Sal 86,16; Sal 113,1; Sal 119,125; Sal 143,12)17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. (Sal 50,14; Sal 116,13)18I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, (Sal 116,14)19in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
