Salme 114

1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 Havet saa det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi gaar du tilbage,

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENS Aasyn, for Jakobs Guds Aasyn,

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld haarden Flint!

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
