Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

Quando Israele uscì dall'Egitto, la casa di Giacobbe da un popolo barbaro, Alleluia.

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Giuda divenne il suo santuario, Israele il suo dominio.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

Il mare vide e si ritrasse, il Giordano si volse indietro,

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

i monti saltellarono come arieti, le colline come agnelli di un gregge.

5 What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

Che hai tu, mare, per fuggire, e tu, Giordano, perché torni indietro?

6 [Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

Perché voi monti saltellate come arieti e voi colline come agnelli di un gregge?

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Trema, o terra, davanti al Signore, davanti al Dio di Giacobbe,

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

che muta la rupe in un lago, la roccia in sorgenti d'acqua.
