Salme 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
