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 foreign 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 was driven back.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? 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!

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
