Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

Quand Israël sortit d'Egypte, quand la maison de Jacob s'éloigna d'un peuple barbare,

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Juda devint son sanctuaire, Israël son domaine.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

La mer le vit et s'enfuit, le Jourdain retourna en arrière;

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

les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, les collines comme des agneaux.

5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

Qu'as-tu, mer, pour t'enfuir? Jourdain, pour retourner en arrière?

6 [You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

Qu'avez-vous, montagnes, pour bondir comme des béliers, et vous, collines, comme des agneaux?

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Tremble, ô terre, devant la face du Seigneur, devant la face du Dieu de Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

qui change le rocher en étang, le roc en source d'eaux.
