Psalms 114

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

Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

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

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

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

Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,

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

hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld hården Flint!
