< 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 people of strange language;
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,
What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,
Tremble, you 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!
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
