1Halleluja! Da Israel drog fra Ægypten, Jakobs Hus fra det stammende Folk,
1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2da blev Juda hans Helligdom, Israel blev hans Rige.
2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3Havet så det og flyede, Jordan trak sig tilbage,
3The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4Bjergene sprang som Vædre, Højene hopped som Lam.
4The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5Hvad fejler du, Hav, at du flyr, Jordan, hvi går du tilbage,
5What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6hvi springer I Bjerge som Vædre, hvi hopper I Høje som Lam?
6O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7Skælv, Jord, for HERRENs Åsyn, for Jakobs Guds Åsyn,
7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8han, som gør Klipper til Vanddrag, til Kildevæld hården Flint!
8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
