Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.

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

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

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

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

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

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

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? 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 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

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