Salme 114

1 Der Israel drog ud af Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra et Folk, som havde et fremmed Maal,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 da blev Juda til hans Helligdom, Israel til hans Herredømme.

Judea made his sanctuary, 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 the lambs of the flock.

5 Hvad skete dig, du Hav! at du flyede? du Jordan! at du vendte om og løb tilbage?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O 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 of the flock?

7 Bæv, o Jord! for Herrens Ansigt, for Jakobs Guds Ansigt;

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 stony hill into fountains of waters.
