Psalms 114

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

Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,

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

då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

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

Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.

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

Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?

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

de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?

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

For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!

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

Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
