< Salme 32 >

1 Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
4 thi din Haand laa tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (Sela)
When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts 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)
My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou — Thou hast taken away, 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 doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. (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 cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning 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 a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
