Salme 114

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

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

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

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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