< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
