Psalms 114

בְּצֵ֣את יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב מֵעַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז׃

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

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

הָיְתָ֣ה יְהוּדָ֣ה לְקָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָֽיו׃

Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

הַיָּ֣ם רָ֭אָה וַיָּנֹ֑ס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן יִסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֽוֹר׃

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

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

הֶֽ֭הָרִים רָקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָע֗וֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

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

מַה־לְּךָ֣ הַ֭יָּם כִּ֣י תָנ֑וּס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן תִּסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֽוֹר׃

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

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

הֶֽ֭הָרִים תִּרְקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָע֗וֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

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

מִלִּפְנֵ֣י אָ֭דוֹן ח֣וּלִי אָ֑רֶץ מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֱל֣וֹהַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

הַהֹפְכִ֣י הַצּ֣וּר אֲגַם־מָ֑יִם חַ֝לָּמִ֗ישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ־מָֽיִם׃

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

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