< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;
Lorsque Israël quitta l'Egypte, et la maison de Jacob un peuple au langage étrange,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Juda devint son Sanctuaire, et Israël, sa Souveraineté.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
A sa vue la mer s'enfuit, et le Jourdain retourna en arrière,
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, les collines, comme de jeunes agneaux.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
Qu'as-tu, ô mer, que tu t'enfuis, ô Jourdain, que tu retournes en arrière,
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
montagnes, que vous bondissez comme des béliers, vous, collines, comme de jeunes agneaux?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
A l'aspect du Seigneur, tremble, ô terre, à l'aspect du Dieu de Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
qui transforme la roche en un amas d'eaux, et le dur caillou en source jaillissante!
