Salmenes 114
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
114 Da Israel drog ut av Egypten, Jakobs hus fra et folk med fremmed tungemål,
2 da blev Juda hans[a] helligdom, Israel hans rike.
3 Havet så det og flydde, Jordan vendte om og løp tilbake.
4 Fjellene hoppet som værer, haugene som unge lam.
5 Hvad har hendt dig, du hav, at du flyr, du Jordan, at du vender om og løper tilbake,
6 I fjell, at I hopper som værer, I hauger som unge lam?
7 For Herrens åsyn bev, du jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn,
8 han som gjør klippen til en vannrik sjø, den hårde sten til en vannkilde!

Psalm 114
New English Translation
Psalm 114[a]
114 When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,[b]
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
3 The sea looked and fled;[c]
the Jordan River[d] turned back.[e]
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.[f]
5 Why do you flee, O sea?
Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,
like lambs, O hills?
7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord—
before the God of Jacob,
8 who turned a rock into a pool of water,
a hard rock into springs of water.[g]

Psalm 114
1599 Geneva Bible
114 1 How the Israelites were delivered forth of Egypt, and of the wonderful miracles that God wrought at that time. Which put us in remembrance of God’s great mercy toward his Church, who when the course of nature faileth, preserveth his miraculously.
1 When (A)Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from the [a]barbarous people,
2 Judah was his [b]sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 The [c]mountains leaped like rams, and the hills as lambs!
5 What ailed thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? O Jordan, why wast thou turned back?
6 Ye mountains why leaped ye like rams, and ye hills as lambs?
7 The [d]earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Which [e]turneth the rock into waterpools, and the flint into a fountain of water.
