Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

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

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

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