< Salme 32 >
1 Salig er den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Saligt er det Menneske, hvem Herren ikke tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Der jeg vilde tie, hentæredes mine Ben under min Jamren den ganske Dag.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring 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 your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
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 acknowledge my sin unto you, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
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 godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great 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)
You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Jeg vil undervise dig og lære dig den Vej, som du skal gaa; jeg vil raade dig ved mit Øje.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with mine eye.
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.
Be all of you not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto you.
10 Den ugudelige har mange Smerter; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, omgiver han med Miskundhed.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
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, all of you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
