תְהִלִּים 114

1 בְּצֵ֣את יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב מֵעַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז׃

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

2 הָיְתָ֣ה יְהוּדָ֣ה לְקָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל מַמְשְׁלֹותָֽיו׃

Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

3 הַיָּ֣ם רָ֭אָה וַיָּנֹ֑ס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן יִסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֹֽור׃

The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

4 הֶֽ֭הָרִים רָקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָעֹ֗ות כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

5 מַה־לְּךָ֣ הַ֭יָּם כִּ֣י תָנ֑וּס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן תִּסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֹֽור׃

What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

6 הֶֽ֭הָרִים תִּרְקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָעֹ֗ות כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

7 מִלִּפְנֵ֣י אָ֭דֹון ח֣וּלִי אָ֑רֶץ מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֱלֹ֣והַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

8 הַהֹפְכִ֣י הַצּ֣וּר אֲגַם־מָ֑יִם חַ֝לָּמִ֗ישׁ לְמַעְיְנֹו־מָֽיִם׃

Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
