Salmenes 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
