Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

Alléluiah! Lorsque Israël sortit d'Egypte, et la maison de Jacob d'un peuple barbare,

2 Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

Juda devint son peuple saint, Israël sa puissance.

3 The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

La mer le vit, et s'enfuit; le Jourdain retourna en arrière.

4 The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

Les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, et les collines comme des agneaux.

5 What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

Qu'avais-tu en toi, ô mer, pour fuir ainsi, et toi, Jourdain, pour retourner en arrière?

6 What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

Et vous, montagnes, pourquoi bondissiez-vous comme des béliers, et vous, collines, comme des agneaux?

7 Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

La terre a tremblé à la face du Seigneur, à la face du Dieu de Jacob,

8 He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.

Qui a changé la pierre en nappes d'eau, et la roche en fontaines.
