Psalm 114

1 Als Israel Ägypten und Jakobs Haus das fremde Volk verließ,

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

2 da ward Juda sein Heiligtum und Israel sein Reich.

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

3 Dies sah das Meer und floh; der Jordan ging zurück.

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

4 Die Berge hüpften gleich den Widdern, die Hügel wie die Lämmer. -

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

5 Was ist dir, Meer? Du fliehst. Was, Jordan, dir? Du gehst zurück.

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

6 Euch Bergen, daß ihr gleich den Widdern, euch Hügeln, daß ihr gleich den Lämmern hüpfet; -

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 Erbebe, Erde, vor dem Herrn, vor Jakobs Gott,

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

8 der Fels in See und Kies in Quellgrund wandelt!

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