Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

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

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
