Psalmorum 114

1 alleluia in exitu Israhel de Aegypto domus Iacob de populo barbaro

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

2 facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius Israhel potestas eius

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

3 mare vidit et fugit Iordanis conversus est retrorsum

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

4 montes exultaverunt ut arietes colles sicut agni ovium

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

5 quid est tibi mare quod fugisti et tu Iordanis quia conversus es retrorsum

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

6 montes exultastis sicut arietes et colles sicut agni ovium

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

7 a facie Domini mota est terra a facie Dei Iacob

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum et rupem in fontes aquarum

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