< 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 foreign language;
2 da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Havet saa det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi gaar du tilbage,
What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
7 Skælv, Jord, for HERRENS Aasyn, for Jakobs Guds Aasyn,
Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld haarden Flint!
who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
