< Psalmorum 114 >
1 alleluia in exitu Israhel de Aegypto domus Iacob de populo barbaro
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
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 hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 montes exultaverunt ut arietes colles sicut agni ovium
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 quid est tibi mare quod fugisti et tu Iordanis quia conversus es retrorsum
What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 montes exultastis sicut arietes et colles sicut agni ovium
O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 a facie Domini mota est terra a facie Dei Iacob
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum et rupem in fontes aquarum
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
