< Salme 114 >

1 Der Israel drog ud af Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra et Folk, som havde et fremmed Maal,
Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
2 da blev Juda til hans Helligdom, Israel til hans Herredømme.
Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Havet saa det og flyede; Jordanen vendte om og løb tilbage.
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
5 Hvad skete dig, du Hav! at du flyede? du Jordan! at du vendte om og løb tilbage?
What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6 I Bjerge! at I sprang som Vædre? I Høje! som unge Lam?
[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?
7 Bæv, o Jord! for Herrens Ansigt, for Jakobs Guds Ansigt;
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 han, som forvandler Klippen til en vandrig Sø, Flint til et Kildevæld!
who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
