< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.
