Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

2 facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius Israhel potestas eius

God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

3 mare vidit et fugit Iordanis conversus est retrorsum

The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

4 montes exultaverunt ut arietes colles sicut agni ovium

Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

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

Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

6 montes exultastis sicut arietes et colles sicut agni ovium

Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

7 a facie Domini mota est terra a facie Dei Iacob

Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

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

who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.
