Psalms 114

1 When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

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

2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene som unge Lam.

5 Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

6 Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

8 He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.

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