Ψαλμοί 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

2 ἐγενήθη Ιουδαία ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

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

The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

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

Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

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

Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

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

Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

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

who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.
