Da Israel dro ut fra Egypt, Jakobs hus fra et fremmed folk,

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

ble Juda hans helligdom, Israel hans rike.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Havet så det og flyktet, Jordan vendte tilbake.

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

Fjellene hoppet som værer, åsene som lam.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

Hva er det med deg, hav, at du flykter? Jordan, at du snur tilbake?

What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

Fjell, at dere hopper som værer! Åser, som lam!

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

Skjelv for Herrens åsyn, jord, for Jakobs Guds åsyn,

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

han som forvandler klippen til vannbasseng, hard stein til kilde!

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
