Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

Als Israel aus Ägypten zog, / Jakobs Haus aus fremdem Volk:

2 Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Da ward Juda sein Heiligtum, / Israel sein Herrschaftsgebiet.

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

Das Meer sah es und floh, / Der Jordan wandte sich rückwärts.

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

Die Berge hüpften wie Widder, / Die Hügel wie junge Schafe.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

Was war dir, o Meer, daß du flohest, / Dir, Jordan, daß du dich rückwärts wandtest?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

Was war euch, ihr Berge, daß ihr hüpftet wie Widder, / Ihr Hügel, wie junge Schafe?

7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

Vor dem Herrn erbebe, du Erde, / Vor dem Antlitz des Gottes Jakobs!

8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

Er wandelte Felsen in Wasserteich, / Kieselstein in sprudelnde Quellen.
