Salmenes 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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 has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

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

O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
