< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:
عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَبَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ مِنْ شَعْبٍ أَعْجَمَ،١
2 Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
كَانَ يَهُوذَا مَقْدِسَهُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ مَحَلَّ سُلْطَانِهِ.٢
3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.
ٱلْبَحْرُ رَآهُ فَهَرَبَ. ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ رَجَعَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ.٣
4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.
ٱلْجِبَالُ قَفَزَتْ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَٱلْآكَامُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.٤
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?
مَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَحْرُ قَدْ هَرَبْتَ ؟ وَمَا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ قَدْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ ؟٥
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?
وَمَا لَكُنَّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ قَدْ قَفَزْتُنَّ مِثْلَ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، وَأَيَّتُهَا ٱلتِّلَالُ مِثْلَ حُمْلَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ؟٦
7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ تَزَلْزَلِي مِنْ قُدَّامِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ قُدَّامِ إِلَهِ يَعْقُوبَ!٧
8 Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
ٱلْمُحَوِّلِ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ إِلَى غُدْرَانِ مِيَاهٍ، ٱلصَّوَّانَ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ مِيَاهٍ.٨
