Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

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

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

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

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

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