< Salme 32 >

1 (Af David. En maskil.) Salig den, hvis Overtrædselse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
A psalm of David. How happy are those whose wrongs are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Ånd der ikke er Svig.
How happy are those whose sins the Lord does not count against them, those who do not act deceptively.
3 Mine Ben svandt hen, så længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
When I kept quiet, my body fell apart as I groaned in distress all day long.
4 thi din Hånd lå tungt på mig både Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Sommerens Tørke. (Sela)
You beat me day and night, my strength dried up as in the heat 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)
Then I confessed my sins to you. I did not hide the wrongs I had done. I said to myself, “I will confess my disobedience to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sins. (Selah)
6 Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke nå.
Therefore let all who are faithful pray to you while there's time, so when trouble comes in like a flood it will not overwhelm them.
7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
For you are my refuge, you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of salvation. (Selah)
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 instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.
9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, når de ikke vil komme til dig.
You mustn't be like a horse or a mule that doesn't know which way to go without a bit or a bridle. Otherwise they can't be controlled.”
10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler på HERREN, omgiver han med Nåde.
The wicked have many problems, but those who trust in the Lord will be surrounded by his never-failing love.
11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
So be happy in the Lord and celebrate, you who do good. Shout for joy, all you who live right!
