Psalms 32
1 The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
thi din Haand laa tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (Sela)
5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
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 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
Jeg vil lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gaa, jeg vil raade dig ved at fæste mit Øje paa dig.
9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, naar de ikke vil komme til dig.
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
11 Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
