Salmenes 114

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

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

2 da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

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

4 Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tremble, you earth, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
