< Psalms 114 >
1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?
What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
6 [You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
