Psalms 114

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange 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; 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 young sheep.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?

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

7 Tremble, thou 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 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

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