Salme 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

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

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
