Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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 skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

Tremble, O 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 standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
