< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
5 What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back?
Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?
montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
