Salme 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

3 Havet saa det og flyede; Jordanen vendte om og løb tilbage.

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

6 I Bjerge! at I sprang som Vædre? I Høje! som unge Lam?

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

8 han, som forvandler Klippen til en vandrig Sø, Flint til et Kildevæld!

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
