Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Aegypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

Facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti: et tu Iordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
