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.

1 Alleluja. [Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominusvocem orationis me.2 Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi,et in diebus meis invocabo.3 Circumdederunt me dolores mortis ;et pericula inferni invenerunt me.Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,4 et nomen Domini invocavi :o Domine, libera animam meam.5 Misericors Dominus et justus,et Deus noster miseretur.6 Custodiens parvulos Dominus ;humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.7 Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam,quia Dominus benefecit tibi :8 quia eripuit animam meam de morte,oculos meos a lacrimis,pedes meos a lapsu.9 Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.]
