Psalms 114

1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

當以色列出離埃及時，雅各伯家離開蠻夷時，

2 [the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.

猶大成了上主的聖所，以色列成了祂的王國；

3 [When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].

海洋見了，頓時逃溜，約旦立即回轉倒流。

4 [When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.

山嶽跳躍如公羊，丘陵舞蹈似羔羊。

5 [If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?

海洋，什麼使您逃溜。約旦，什麼叫您倒流？

6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

山嶽，您們為什麼跳躍像公羊？丘陵，您們為什麼舞蹈似羔羊？

7 [I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!

大地，您應該在上主的面前，在雅各伯的天主面前搖撼，

8 He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!

祂使磐石變為水潭，祂使礁石變成水泉。
