1(114) Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
2Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
2Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
4The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?
5Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6[You⌃] mountains, that you⌃ skipped like rams, and [you⌃] hills, like lambs?
6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
