Psalmorum 114

1 Alleluja. [In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

2 facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

4 Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

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

5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

6 montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:

Tremble, you 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.

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
