Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

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

What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?

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.
