Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

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

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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