Salmenes 114

1 Da Israel drog ut av Egypten, Jakobs hus fra et folk med fremmed tungemål,

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 Havet så det og flydde, Jordan vendte om og løp tilbake.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

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

5 Hvad har hendt dig, du hav, at du flyr, du Jordan, at du vender om og løper tilbake,

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 I fjell, at I hopper som værer, I hauger som unge lam?

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

7 For Herrens åsyn bev, du jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn,

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 han som gjør klippen til en vannrik sjø, den hårde sten til en vannkilde!

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
