Sòm 114

1 Lè pèp Izrayèl la te soti nan peyi Lejip, lè pitit pitit Jakòb yo te kite peyi etranje yo,

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Bondye chwazi branch fanmi Jida a pou pèp li, moun Izrayèl yo pou byen pa l'.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

3 Lè Lanmè Wouj la wè l', li pran kouri san gad dèyè. Larivyè Jouden sispann koule desann.

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

4 Mòn yo sote ponpe tankou bouk kabrit, ti mòn yo sote ponpe tankou ti mouton.

The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.

5 Kisak pase ou, lanmè, kifè ou pran kouri konsa? Ou menm larivyè Jouden, kisak rive ou kifè ou sispann koule?

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

6 Nou menm mòn yo, sa nou genyen pou n'ap sote ponpe konsa tankou bouk kabrit? Nou menm ti mòn yo, poukisa n'ap sote ponpe tankou ti mouton?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

7 Ou menm latè, tranble devan Seyè a, devan Bondye Jakòb la.

Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Se li menm ki fè gwo wòch la tounen yon basen dlo, li fè wòch la tounen yon sous dlo.

Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
