Salme 114

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

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

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

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

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

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

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

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

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

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
