Salme 32
1 Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
3 Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4 thi din Haand laa tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (Sela)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
5 Min Synd bekendte jeg for dig, dulgte ikke min Skyld; jeg sagde: »Mine Overtrædelser vil jeg bekende for HERREN!« Da tilgav du mig min Syndeskyld. (Sela)
I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
6 Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
8 Jeg vil lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gaa, jeg vil raade dig ved at fæste mit Øje paa dig.
I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, naar de ikke vil komme til dig.
Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but thou must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.
10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
