Psalms 114

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

alleluia in exitu Israhel de Aegypto domus Iacob de populo barbaro

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

facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius Israhel 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 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
