Psalms 114

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

Der Israel drog ud af Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra et Folk, som havde et fremmed Maal,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda til hans Helligdom, Israel til hans Herredømme.

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

Havet saa det og flyede; Jordanen vendte om og løb tilbage.

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

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

Hvad skete dig, du Hav! at du flyede? du Jordan! at du vendte om og løb tilbage?

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

I Bjerge! at I sprang som Vædre? I Høje! som unge Lam?

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

Bæv, o Jord! for Herrens Ansigt, for Jakobs Guds Ansigt;

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

han, som forvandler Klippen til en vandrig Sø, Flint til et Kildevæld!
