< Salme 32 >

1 Salig er den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult.
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Saligt er det Menneske, hvem Herren ikke tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 Der jeg vilde tie, hentæredes mine Ben under min Jamren den ganske Dag.
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 Thi din Haand laa Dag og Nat svar paa mig; min Livskraft svandt hen i Sommerens Tørhed. (Sela)
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
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)
[Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
6 Derfor skal hver hellig bede til dig til den Stund, du findes; komme store Vandskyl, skulle de ikke naa til ham.
Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du bevarer mig for Angest; med Frelsens Jubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
8 Jeg vil undervise dig og lære dig den Vej, som du skal gaa; jeg vil raade dig ved mit Øje.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over 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 stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
10 Den ugudelige har mange Smerter; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, omgiver han med Miskundhed.
Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
11 Glæder eder i Herren og fryder eder, I retfærdige! og synger med Fryd alle I, som ere oprigtige i Hjertet!
[So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
