< Psalms 114 >

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,
عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ شَعْبٍ أَعْجَمَ،١
2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
كَانَ يَهُوذَا مَقْدِسَهُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ مَحَلَّ سُلْطَانِهِ.٢
3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.
ٱلْبَحْرُ رَآهُ فَهَرَبَ. ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ رَجَعَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ.٣
4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.
ٱلْجِبَالُ قَفَزَتْ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَٱلْآكَامُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.٤
5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?
مَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَحْرُ قَدْ هَرَبْتَ ؟ وَمَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ قَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ ؟٥
6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?
وَمَا لَكُنَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ قَدْ قَفَزْتُنَّ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَأَيَّتُهَا ٱلتِّلَالُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ؟٦
7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَلْزَلِي مِنْ قُدَّامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ قُدَّامِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ!٧
8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
ٱلْمُحَوِّلِ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ إِلَى غُدْرَانِ مِيَاهٍ، ٱلصَّوَّانَ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ مِيَاهٍ.٨
