Psalmorum 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 facta est Iudaea sanctificatio eius Israhel potestas eius

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

3 mare vidit et fugit Iordanis conversus est retrorsum

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4 montes exultaverunt ut arietes colles sicut agni ovium

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills skipped like lambs.

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

6 montes exultastis sicut arietes et colles sicut agni ovium

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

7 a facie Domini mota est terra a facie Dei Iacob

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

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

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
