Salmenes 114

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

At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

2 da blev Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

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

The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

4 Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.

Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

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

Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

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

Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
