Psalms 114

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

Als Israel Ägypten und Jakobs Haus das fremde Volk verließ,

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

da ward Juda sein Heiligtum und Israel sein Reich.

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

Dies sah das Meer und floh; der Jordan ging zurück.

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

Die Berge hüpften gleich den Widdern, die Hügel wie die Lämmer. -

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

Was ist dir, Meer? Du fliehst. Was, Jordan, dir? Du gehst zurück.

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?

Euch Bergen, daß ihr gleich den Widdern, euch Hügeln, daß ihr gleich den Lämmern hüpfet; -

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

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

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

der Fels in See und Kies in Quellgrund wandelt!
