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]
