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 foreign language;

2 facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius Israhel 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 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.
