Psalmorum 114

1 Alleluia. In exitu Israel de Ægypto, domus Iacob de populo barbaro:

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

2 Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

3 Mare vidit, et fugit: Iordanis conversus est retrorsum.

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

4 Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium.

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Montes exultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium?

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

7 A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Iacob.

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

8 Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
