Month of Thanksgiving - Day 8

詩 116

1 我愛耶和華, 因為他聽了我的聲音和我的懇求。 2 他既向我側耳, 我一生要求告他。 3 死亡的繩索纏繞我; 陰間的痛苦抓住我; 我遭遇患難愁苦。 4 那時, 我便求告耶和華的名, 說: 耶和華啊, 求你救我的靈魂! 5 耶和華有恩惠,有公義; 我們的 神以憐憫為懷。 6 耶和華保護愚人; 我落到卑微的地步, 他救了我。 7 我的心哪! 你要仍歸安樂, 因為耶和華用厚恩待你。 8 主啊, 你救我的命免了死亡, 救我的眼免了流淚, 救我的腳免了跌倒。 9 我要在耶和華面前行活人之路。 10 我因信, 所以如此說話; 我受了極大的困苦。 11 我曾急促地說: 人都是說謊的! 12 我拿甚麼報答耶和華向我所賜的一切厚恩? 13 我要舉起救恩的杯, 稱揚耶和華的名。 14 我要在他眾民面前向耶和華還我的願。 15 在耶和華眼中, 看聖民之死極為寶貴。 16 耶和華啊, 我真是你的僕人; 我是你的僕人, 是你婢女的兒子。 你已經解開我的綁索。 17 我要以感謝為祭獻給你, 又要求告耶和華的名。 18-19 我要在他眾民面前, 在耶和華殿的院內, 在耶路撒冷當中, 向耶和華還我的願。 你們要讚美耶和華!

Psalm 116

1 I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. 3 The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!” 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. 6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. 8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.” 11 I said in my haste, “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 I will pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people. 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. 16 O Lord, truly 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 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 courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
