Psalms 32
1 To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Af David. En Maskil. Salig den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
Mine Ben svandt hen, saa længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
thi din Haand laa tungt paa mig baade Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Somrens Tørke. (Sela)
5 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.
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 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.
Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke naa.
7 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
8 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.
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, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
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 shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler paa HERREN, omgiver han med Naade.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!
