Sòm 114

1 Lè Israël te sòti an Égypte, lakay Jacob soti de yon pèp lang etranje,

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

2 Juda te vin sanktiyè Li a, Israël, wayòm Li.

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

3 Lanmè a te gade e te sove ale. Jourdain an te vire fè bak.

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

4 Mòn yo te sote tankou belye, kolin yo tankou ti mouton.

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

5 Sa k pase ou menm, O lanmè, ke ou te sove ale konsa? O Jourdain an, ke Ou te vire fè bak konsa?

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

6 O mòn yo, ke ou sote tankou belye konsa? O kolin yo, tankou ti mouton konsa?

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

7 Pran tranble, O latè, devan SENYÈ a, Devan Bondye a Jacob la,

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

8 Ki te fè wòch la devni yon ma dlo, wòch silèks la yon sous k ap koule.

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