< Salme 114 >

1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,
When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,
What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld hården Flint!
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
