Salme 32

1 (Af David. En maskil.) Salig den, hvis Overtrædselse er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult;

By David. A contemplative psalm. Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2 saligt det Menneske, HERREN ej tilregner Skyld, og i hvis Ånd der ikke er Svig.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3 Mine Ben svandt hen, så længe jeg tav, under Jamren Dagen igennem,

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

4 thi din Hånd lå tungt på mig både Dag og Nat, min Livskraft svandt som i Sommerens Tørke. (Sela)

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. (Selah)

5 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)

I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

6 Derfor bede hver from til dig, den Stund du findes. Kommer da store Vandskyl, ham skal de ikke nå.

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

7 Du er mit Skjul, du frier mig af Trængsel, med Frelsesjubel omgiver du mig. (Sela)

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. (Selah)

8 Jeg vil lære dig og vise dig, hvor du skal gå, jeg vil råde dig ved at fæste mit Øje på dig.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

9 Vær ikke uden Forstand som Hest eller Muldyr, der tvinges med Tømme og Bidsel, når de ikke vil komme til dig.

Don’t 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.

10 Den gudløses Smerter er mange, men den, der stoler på HERREN, omgiver han med Nåde.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in the LORD.

11 Glæd jer i HERREN, I retfærdige, fryd jer, jubler, alle I oprigtige af Hjertet!

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
