Salme 32
1 Af David. En Maskil. Salig 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 det Menneske, HERREN ej 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 Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
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 tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (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 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)
[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 bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
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 frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel 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 lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gaa, jeg vil raade dig ved at fæste mit Øje paa dig.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, naar de ikke vil komme 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 gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
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 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af 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!
