< Psalms 114 >
1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.
3 The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.
Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.
5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?
6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!
8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
