Psalms 114

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

Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,

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

facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?

7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:

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

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