Psalms 32
1 [A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
(Af David. En maskil.) Salig den, hvis Overtrædselse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Ånd der ikke er Svig.
3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
Mine Ben svandt hen, så længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
thi din Hånd lå tungt på mig både Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Sommerens Tørke. (Sela)
5 I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
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)
6 Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.
Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke nå.
7 You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
8 I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.
Jeg vil lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gå, jeg vil råde dig ved at fæste mit Øje på dig.
9 Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.
Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, når de ikke vil komme til dig.
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler på HERREN, omgiver han med Nåde.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
