Psalm 114

1 Als Israel Ägypten und Jakobs Haus das fremde Volk verließ,

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

2 da ward Juda sein Heiligtum und Israel sein Reich.

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 Dies sah das Meer und floh; der Jordan ging zurück.

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

4 Die Berge hüpften gleich den Widdern, die Hügel wie die Lämmer. -

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

5 Was ist dir, Meer? Du fliehst. Was, Jordan, dir? Du gehst zurück.

What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

6 Euch Bergen, daß ihr gleich den Widdern, euch Hügeln, daß ihr gleich den Lämmern hüpfet; -

All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?

7 Erbebe, Erde, vor dem Herrn, vor Jakobs Gott,

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

8 der Fels in See und Kies in Quellgrund wandelt!

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
