< 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 strange 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; Jordan was driven back.
4 montes exultaverunt ut arietes colles sicut agni ovium
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.
5 quid est tibi mare quod fugisti et tu Iordanis quia conversus es retrorsum
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6 montes exultastis sicut arietes et colles sicut agni ovium
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?
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
Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
