1 Aleluia. Quando Israel saiu do Egito, e a casa de Jacó se apartou de um povo bárbaro,

2 a terra de Judá tornou-se o santuário do Senhor, e Israel seu reino.

3 O mar, à vista disso, fugiu, o Jordão volveu atrás.

4 Os montes saltaram como carneiros; as colinas, como cordeiros.

5 Que tens, ó mar, para assim fugires? E tu, Jordão, para retrocederes para a tua fonte?

6 Ó montes, por que saltastes como carneiros, e vós, colinas, como cordeiros?

7 Ante a face de Deus, treme, ó terra,

8 por quem o rochedo se mudou em lençol de água, e a pedra em fonte de água viva.

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
