Psalms 114

1 When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

6 Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

8 He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.

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