< Salme 32 >
1 Salig er den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult.
[By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those 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.
Happy is the one to whom the LORD does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Der jeg vilde tie, hentæredes mine Ben under min Jamren den ganske Dag.
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all 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 on me to my destruction in the heat 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 acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to 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, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du bevarer mig for Angest; med Frelsens Jubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me 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 counsel you with my eye on you.
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 be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
10 Den ugudelige har mange Smerter; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, omgiver han med Miskundhed.
Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts 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, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
