Salmenes 114

1 Då Israel drog ut or Egyptarland, Jakobs hus frå eit folk med framand tunga,

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3 Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

5 Kva hev hendt deg, hav, at du flyr? du Jordan, at du dreg deg attende?

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

6 de fjell, at de hoppar som verar, de haugar som lamb?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

7 For Herrens åsyn må du skjelva, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn!

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Han som gjer berget til ein sjø, harde steinen til ei vatskjelda.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
