Psaltaren 32
1 En undervisning Davids. Säll är den, hvilkom öfverträdelsen förlåten är, dem synden öfverskyld är.
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Säll är den menniska, som Herren icke tillräknar missgerning; i hvilkens anda ingen falskhet är.
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 Ty då jag ville förtigat, försmäktade min ben, genom min dagliga gråt.
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 Ty din hand var dag och natt svår på mig, så att min vätska borttorkades, såsom det om sommaren torrt varder. (Sela)
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
5 Derföre bekänner jag dig mina synd, och förskyler intet mina missgerning. Jag sade: Jag vill bekänna för Herranom min öfverträdelse; då förlätst du mig mine synds missgerning. (Sela)
[Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
6 För detta skola alle helige bedja dig i rättom tid; derföre, när store vattufloder komma, skola de intet räcka intill dem.
Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
7 Du äst mitt beskärm, bevara mig dock för ångest; att jag förlossad må ganska gladeliga fröjdas. (Sela)
You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
8 Jag vill undervisa dig, och lära dig vägen, den du vandra skall; jag skall leda dig med mine ögon.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
9 Varer icke såsom hästar och mular, som intet förstånd hafva; hvilkom man måste lägga bett och betsel i munnen, om de icke till dig vilja.
Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
10 Den ogudaktige hafver många plågor; men den som hoppas uppå Herran, honom skall barmhertighet omfatta.
Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
11 Fröjder eder af Herranom, och varer glade, I rättfärdige; och berömmer eder, alle I fromme.
[So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
