Psalm 114 | Menge Bibel

1 Halleluja! Als Israel aus Ägypten auszog, Jakobs Haus aus dem Volk fremder Sprache,

2 da ward Juda sein* Heiligtum, Israel sein Herrschaftsgebiet.

3 Das Meer sah es und floh, der Jordan wandte sich rückwärts,

4 die Berge hüpften wie Widder, die Hügel gleichwie Lämmer.

5 Was war dir, o Meer, daß du flohest, dir, Jordan, daß du dich rückwärts wandtest?

6 (Was war euch) ihr Berge, daß ihr hüpftet wie Widder, ihr Hügel gleichwie Lämmer?

7 Vor dem Anblick des Herrn erbebe, du Erde, vor dem Anblick des Gottes Jakobs,

8 der Felsen wandelt zum Wasserteich, Kieselgestein zum sprudelnden Quell!

New International Reader’s Version

1 The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.

2 Then Judah became the holy place where God lived. Israel became the land he ruled over.

3 The Red Sea saw him and parted. The River Jordan stopped flowing.

4 The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs.

5 Red Sea, why did you part? River Jordan, why did you stop flowing?

6 Why did you mountains leap like rams? Why did you hills skip like lambs?

7 Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes. Tremble when the God of Jacob is near.

8 He turned the rock into a pool. He turned the hard rock into springs of water.
