< Psalms 114 >

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
Alleluja. [In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
5 What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
