Salme 114

1 Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,

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

2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,

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

6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld hården Flint!

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