Ψαλμοί 114

1 αλληλουια ἐν ἐξόδῳ Ισραηλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου οἴκου Ιακωβ ἐκ λαοῦ βαρβάρου

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 ἐγενήθη Ιουδαία ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 ἡ θάλασσα εἶδεν καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ Ιορδάνης ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 τὰ ὄρη ἐσκίρτησαν ὡσεὶ κριοὶ καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 τί σοί ἐστιν θάλασσα ὅτι ἔφυγες καὶ σοί Ιορδάνη ὅτι ἀνεχώρησας εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 τὰ ὄρη ὅτι ἐσκιρτήσατε ὡσεὶ κριοί καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ὡς ἀρνία προβάτων

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ Ιακωβ

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 τοῦ στρέψαντος τὴν πέτραν εἰς λίμνας ὑδάτων καὶ τὴν ἀκρότομον εἰς πηγὰς ὑδάτων

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
