< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.
3 The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.
4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti: et tu Iordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
6 Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?
7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.
8 Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
