The Book of Psalms

Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.(a)

What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.

(a)113:4 The genitive case does not always translate as ‘of,’ nor does it always connotate possession. It can also translate as ‘among.’(Conte)

(b)113:10 The verb here is implied from the previous verse.(Conte)
