< Salme 114 >

1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,
When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
3 Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,
Tremble, thou 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 of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
