Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

2 facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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

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

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

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

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

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
