Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

Da Israel drog ut av Egypten, Jakobs hus fra et folk med fremmed tungemål,

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

Havet så det og flydde, Jordan vendte om og løp tilbake.

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

Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

Hvad har hendt dig, du hav, at du flyr, du Jordan, at du vender om og løper tilbake,

6 [You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

I fjell, at I hopper som værer, I hauger som unge lam?

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

For Herrens åsyn bev, du jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn,

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

han som gjør klippen til en vannrik sjø, den hårde sten til en vannkilde!
