< Salme 32 >

1 Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
A psalm of David. A maschil. Blessed is the person 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 to whom Yahweh reckons no guilt and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
When I remained silent, my bones were wasting away while I groaned all 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 strength withered as in summer drought. (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)
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and I no longer hid my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
6 Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
Because of this, all who are godly should pray to you at a time of great distress. Then when the surging waters overflow, they will not reach those people.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
You are my hiding place; you will guard me from trouble. You will surround me with the songs of victory. (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 should go. I will instruct you with my eye upon 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 like a horse or like a mule, which have no understanding; it is only with bridle and bit to control them that they will go where you want them to.
10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
The wicked have many sorrows, but Yahweh's covenant faithfulness will surround the one who trusts in him.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous; shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
