Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Lorsque Israël quitta l'Egypte, et la maison de Jacob un peuple au langage étrange,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

Juda devint son Sanctuaire, et Israël, sa Souveraineté.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

A sa vue la mer s'enfuit, et le Jourdain retourna en arrière,

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

les montagnes bondirent comme des béliers, les collines, comme de jeunes agneaux.

5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

Qu'as-tu, ô mer, que tu t'enfuis, ô Jourdain, que tu retournes en arrière,

6 All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?

montagnes, que vous bondissez comme des béliers, vous, collines, comme de jeunes agneaux?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

A l'aspect du Seigneur, tremble, ô terre, à l'aspect du Dieu de Jacob,

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

qui transforme la roche en un amas d'eaux, et le dur caillou en source jaillissante!
