< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went 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 was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.
3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.
5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?
6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
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 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
