Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;

Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?

Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti: et tu Iordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?

Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
