Psalms 114

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

Quand Israël sortit de l'Egypte, Quand la maison de Jacob se sépara d'un peuple barbare,

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

Juda devint le sanctuaire de l'Éternel, Et Israël son empire.

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

A la vue du peuple de Dieu, la mer 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, ô mer, pour t'enfuir, 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?

Pourquoi bondir comme des béliers, ô montagnes. 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.

Terre, tremble devant le Seigneur, Devant le Dieu de Jacob,

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

Qui change le rocher en nappe d'eau, Le granit en source jaillissante.
