Psalms 114

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

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 saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

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

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, you 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 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

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