Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

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

Havet såg det og flydde, Jordan drog seg attende.

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

Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

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