Psalmorum 114

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

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

2 Facta est Iudæa sanctificatio eius, Israel potestas eius.

Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

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

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

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

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

What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?

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

Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

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