Psalms 114

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

3 The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

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

4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

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

6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

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