Psaumes 114

1 Quand Israël sortit d’Égypte, quand la maison de Jacob s’éloigna d’un peuple barbare,

Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Juda devint son sanctuaire, Israël son domaine.

Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

3 La mer le vit et s’enfuit, le Jourdain retourna en arrière;

The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

4 les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, les collines comme des agneaux.

The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

5 Qu’as-tu, mer, pour t’enfuir? Jourdain, pour retourner en arrière?

What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

6 Qu’avez-vous, montagnes, pour bondir comme des béliers, et vous, collines, comme des agneaux?

What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

7 Tremble, ô terre, devant la face du Seigneur, devant la face du Dieu de Jacob,

Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

8 qui change le rocher en étang, le roc en source d’eaux.

He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
