Salmene 114,3

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

2 Ble Juda hans hellige sted,
Israel, hans rike.

Havet så det og flyktet;
Jordan snudde tilbake.

4 Fjellene hoppet som værer,
Haugene som unge lam.

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

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
