< Psalms 32 >

1 [By David. A contemplative psalm.] Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Salig er den, hvis Overtrædelse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult.
2 Happy is the one to whom Jehovah does not charge with sin, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Saligt er det Menneske, hvem Herren ikke tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Aand der ikke er Svig.
3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Der jeg vilde tie, hentæredes mine Ben under min Jamren den ganske Dag.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me to my destruction in the heat of summer. (Selah)
Thi din Haand laa Dag og Nat svar paa mig; min Livskraft svandt hen i Sommerens Tørhed. (Sela)
5 I acknowledged my sin to you. I did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Jeg bekendte min Synd for dig og skjulte ikke min Misgerning, jeg sagde: „Jeg vil bekende mine Overtrædelser for Herren‟, du forlod mig min Syndeskyld. (Sela)
6 For this, let everyone who is faithful pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.
Derfor skal hver hellig bede til dig til den Stund, du findes; komme store Vandskyl, skulle de ikke naa til ham.
7 You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)
Du er mit Skjul, du bevarer mig for Angest; med Frelsens Jubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.
Jeg vil undervise dig og lære dig den Vej, som du skal gaa; jeg vil raade dig ved mit Øje.
9 Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.
Værer ikke som Hest og Mule, der ikke have Forstand, hvis Prydelse er Tømme og Bidsel til at tvinge dem, naar de ikke ville komme nær til dig.
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Jehovah.
Den ugudelige har mange Smerter; men den, som forlader sig paa Herren, omgiver han med Miskundhed.
11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
Glæder eder i Herren og fryder eder, I retfærdige! og synger med Fryd alle I, som ere oprigtige i Hjertet!
