Psalm 114

1 Als Israel Ägypten und Jakobs Haus das fremde Volk verließ,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

2 da ward Juda sein Heiligtum und Israel sein Reich.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Dies sah das Meer und floh; der Jordan ging zurück.

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

4 Die Berge hüpften gleich den Widdern, die Hügel wie die Lämmer. -

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

5 Was ist dir, Meer? Du fliehst. Was, Jordan, dir? Du gehst zurück.

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

6 Euch Bergen, daß ihr gleich den Widdern, euch Hügeln, daß ihr gleich den Lämmern hüpfet; -

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

7 Erbebe, Erde, vor dem Herrn, vor Jakobs Gott,

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 der Fels in See und Kies in Quellgrund wandelt!

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
