Psalms 114

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,

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

2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

Facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.

Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.

Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?

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

6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?

Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!

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

8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.

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