Salmenes 114

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

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

2 då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

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

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

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

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

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

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.

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
