Psalms 114

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

Da Israel drog ut av Egypten, Jakobs hus fra et folk med fremmed tungemål,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

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

Havet så det og flydde, Jordan vendte om og løp tilbake.

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

Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

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

Hvad har hendt dig, du hav, at du flyr, du Jordan, at du vender om og løper tilbake,

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

I fjell, at I hopper som værer, I hauger som unge lam?

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

For Herrens åsyn bev, du jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn,

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

han som gjør klippen til en vannrik sjø, den hårde sten til en vannkilde!
