Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign 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 was driven back.

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

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

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you 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 spring of waters.
