1 Salig den, hvis Overdtrærdselser er forladt, hvis Synd er skjult:

1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil.How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered!

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

2 How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,And in whose spirit there is no deceit!

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

3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted awayThrough 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.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;My vitality was drained away as with the fever 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.

5 I acknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I did not hide;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.

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

6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.

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

7 You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble;You 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.

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

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

9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,Otherwise they will not come near to you.

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

10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,But he who trusts in the Lord, lovingkindness shall surround him.

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

11 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
