Salme 32
1 Salig er den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult.
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2 Saligt er det Menneske, hvem Herren ikke tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Der jeg vilde tie, hentæredes mine Ben under min Jamren den ganske Dag.
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 Thi din Haand laa Dag og Nat svar paa mig; min Livskraft svandt hen i Sommerens Tørhed. (Sela)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5 Jeg bekendte min Synd for dig og skjulte ikke min Misgerning, jeg sagde: „Jeg vil bekende mine Overtrædelser for Herren‟, du forlod mig min Syndeskyld. (Sela)
I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6 Derfor skal hver hellig bede til dig til den Stund, du findes; komme store Vandskyl, skulle de ikke naa til ham.
For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du bevarer mig for Angest; med Frelsens Jubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8 Jeg vil undervise dig og lære dig den Vej, som du skal gaa; jeg vil raade dig ved mit Øje.
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9 Værer ikke som Hest og Mule, der ikke have Forstand, hvis Prydelse er Tømme og Bidsel til at tvinge dem, naar de ikke ville komme nær til dig.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Den ugudelige har mange Smerter; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, omgiver han med Miskundhed.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Glæder eder i Herren og fryder eder, I retfærdige! og synger med Fryd alle I, som ere oprigtige i Hjertet!
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
