< 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 people of strange language;
2 da blev Juda til hans Helligdom, Israel til hans Herredømme.
Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 Havet saa det og flyede; Jordanen vendte om og løb tilbage.
The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little 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 thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
6 I Bjerge! at I sprang som Vædre? I Høje! som unge Lam?
Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Bæv, o Jord! for Herrens Ansigt, for Jakobs Guds Ansigt;
Tremble, thou earth, 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!
Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
