Psalms 114

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

Der Israel drog ud af Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra et Folk, som havde et fremmed Maal,

2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

da blev Juda til hans Helligdom, Israel til hans Herredømme.

3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

Havet saa det og flyede; Jordanen vendte om og løb tilbage.

4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

Hvad skete dig, du Hav! at du flyede? du Jordan! at du vendte om og løb tilbage?

6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

I Bjerge! at I sprang som Vædre? I Høje! som unge Lam?

7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

Bæv, o Jord! for Herrens Ansigt, for Jakobs Guds Ansigt;

8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.

han, som forvandler Klippen til en vandrig Sø, Flint til et Kildevæld!
