1 When Israel went out of Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled.

The Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the little hills like lambs.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled?

You Jordan, that you turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams?

You little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,

the flint into a spring of waters.

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.
