Salmenes 114

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

Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

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

The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

4 Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

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

What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

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

What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

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

Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

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

He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
