< Salme 114 >
1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Havet saa det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi gaar du tilbage,
What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENS Aasyn, for Jakobs Guds Aasyn,
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld haarden Flint!
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
