Salmenes 114

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

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

2 då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

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

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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