Psalms 114

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

Als Israel aus Ägypten zog, das Haus Jakob aus dem Volke fremder Sprache,

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

da war Juda sein Heiligtum, Israel seine Herrschaft.

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

Das Meer sah es und floh, der Jordan wandte sich zurück;

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

die Berge hüpften wie Widder, die Hügel wie junge Schafe.

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

Was war dir, du Meer, daß du flohest? Du Jordan, daß du dich zurückwandtest?

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?

Ihr Berge, daß ihr hüpftet wie Widder? ihr Hügel, wie junge Schafe?

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

Erbebe vor dem Herrn, du Erde, vor dem Gott Jakobs,

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

Der den Felsen verwandelte in einen Wasserteich, den Kieselfelsen in einen Wasserquell!
