Psalms 114

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

Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,

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

då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.

4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?

7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!

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

Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
