Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judea made his sanctuary, 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 the lambs of the flock.

Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

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

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

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

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

7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 stony hill into fountains of waters.

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