Psalms 32
1 Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
Eine Unterweisung Davids. Wohl dem, dem die Übertretungen vergeben sind, dem die Sünde bedeckt ist!
2 Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
Wohl dem Menschen, dem der HERR die Missetat nicht zurechnet, in des Geist kein Falsch ist!
3 When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
Denn da ich's wollte verschweigen, verschmachteten meine Gebeine durch mein täglich Heulen.
4 Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
Denn deine Hand war Tag und Nacht schwer auf mir, daß mein Saft vertrocknete, wie es im Sommer dürre wird. (Sela)
5 [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.
Darum bekannte ich dir meine Sünde und verhehlte meine Missetat nicht. Ich sprach: Ich will dem HERRN meine Übertretungen bekennen. Da vergabst du mir die Missetat meiner Sünde. (Sela)
6 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.
Um deswillen werden die Heiligen zu dir beten zur rechten Zeit; darum, wenn große Wasserfluten kommen, werden sie nicht an dieselben gelangen.
7 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].
Du bist mein Schirm; du wirst mich vor Angst behüten, daß ich errettet gar fröhlich rühmen kann. (Sela)
8 [Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
“Ich will dich unterweisen und dir den Weg zeigen, den du wandeln sollst; ich will dich mit meinen Augen leiten.”
9 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.”
Seid nicht wie Rosse und Maultiere, die nicht verständig sind, welchen man Zaum und Gebiß muß ins Maul legen, wenn sie nicht zu dir wollen.
10 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.
Der Gottlose hat viel Plage; wer aber auf den HERRN hofft, den wird die Güte umfangen.
11 [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!
Freuet euch des HERRN und seid fröhlich, ihr Gerechten, und rühmet, alle ihr Frommen.
