Salme 114

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

When Israel [God prevails] went out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], the house of Jacob [Supplanter] from a people of foreign language;

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

Judah [Praised] became his sanctuary, Israel [God prevails] his dominion.

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

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan [Descender] was driven back.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan [Descender], that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of 'Adon [Lord], at the presence of the God of Jacob [Supplanter],

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

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
