< Psalmorum 114 >

1 Alleluja. [In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2 facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.
4 Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
6 montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
