< Salme 32 >

1 Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej 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 Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 thi din Haand laa tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (Sela)
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. (Selah)
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 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 bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
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 frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel 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 lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gaa, jeg vil raade dig ved at fæste mit Øje paa dig.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with mine eye.
9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, naar de ikke vil komme 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 gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusts in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, all of you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.
