< Salme 32 >

1 (Af David. En maskil.) Salig den, hvis Overtrædselse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Ånd der ikke er Svig.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Mine Ben svandt hen, så længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 thi din Hånd lå tungt på mig både Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Sommerens Tørke. (Sela)
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
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 have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6 Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke nå.
For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8 Jeg vil lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gå, jeg vil råde dig ved at fæste mit Øje på dig.
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, når de ikke vil komme til dig.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler på HERREN, omgiver han med Nåde.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
