Psalms 114

1 WHEN Israel went 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 was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

Havet saa det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

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 Aasyn, for Jakobs Guds Aasyn,

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

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