Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

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

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

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

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

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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

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.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
