Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth from 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 beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, O 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 Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!

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