Psalms 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

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