Psalmorum 114

1 Alleluja. [In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,

WHEN Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4 Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
