Salmenes 114

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

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 då vart Juda hans heilagdom, Israel hans rike.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Fjelli hoppa som verar, haugarne som lamb.

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

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

What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

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

[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
