< Salme 114 >
1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,
At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld hården Flint!
Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
