Psalmorum 114

1 Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

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

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

What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

[Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

The earth trembled 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.

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
