Psaumes 114

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

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Juda devint son sanctuaire, Israël son domaine.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

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

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

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

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

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

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

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

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
