< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,
2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.
3 The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.
4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.
5 What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?
6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!
8 Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
