Psalm 116 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Hjælp i dødsangst

1 Jeg elsker Herren, for han hører min bøn.

2 Han lytter til mit råb om hjælp, jeg vil bede til ham, så længe jeg lever.

3 Døden holdt mig i sit kvælertag, jeg var dødsens angst og dybt fortvivlet.

4 Da råbte jeg: „Herre, red mig fra at dø!”

5 Herren er god og nådig. Vor Gud er fuld af barmhjertighed.

6 Han hjælper dem, der råber om hjælp, han frelste mig i nødens stund.

7 Min sjæl, fald til ro igen, for Herren har bevist sin godhed.

8 Han reddede mig fra døden, mit øje fra gråd, min fod fra fald.

9 Jeg er stadig i live, og jeg vil altid følge Herrens vej.

10 Jeg troede, og derfor talte jeg. „Herre!” råbte jeg. „Jeg er i stor nød!”

11 I min bitre angst sagde jeg: „De er alle sammen fulde af løgn!”

12 Hvad kan jeg give til Herren for al hans godhed imod mig?

13 Jeg vil takke ham for min redning med et drikoffer.

14 Jeg vil bringe ham de ofre, jeg har lovet, for øjnene af hele folket.

15 Herren elsker sit folk, han griber ind, hvis nogen er nær ved at dø.

16 Herre, jeg er din tjener, en simpel slave. Tak, fordi du reddede mig fra døden.

17 Jeg vil bringe dig takofre og lovprise dig.

18 Jeg vil bringe de ofre, jeg lovede, for øjnene af hele folket,

19 midt i din helligdom, Herre, midt i Jerusalem. Halleluja!

English Standard Version

I Love the Lord

1 I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

2 Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;

9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I believed, even when* I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;

11 I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”

12 What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me?

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 in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
