Psalms 114

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

Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,

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

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

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

Havet saa det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

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

Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi gaar du tilbage,

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

hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?

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

Skælv, Jord, for HERRENS Aasyn, for Jakobs Guds Aasyn,

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

han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld haarden Flint!
