Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.

3 The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,

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

Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

8 Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!

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