Psalms 114

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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 hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

5 What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

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

6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

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