1Quand Israël sortit d’Egypte, quand les descendants de Jacob ╵quittèrent un peuple parlant une langue étrangère,2Juda devint le sanctuaire ╵de l’Eternel, Israël devint son domaine.3La mer le vit et prit la fuite, le Jourdain reflua[1], (Ex 14:21; Jos 3:15; Jos 4:23)4et les montagnes ╵se mirent à bondir ╵tout comme des béliers, et les collines ╵tout comme des cabris.5Qu’avais-tu, mer, ╵pour fuir ainsi? Et toi, Jourdain, ╵pour refluer?6Et vous, montagnes, qu’aviez-vous ╵pour bondir comme des béliers, et vous, collines, ╵tout comme des cabris?7O terre, tremble devant le Seigneur, oui, devant le Dieu de Jacob:8il change le roc en étang, la pierre en source jaillissante[2]. (Ex 17:1; Nb 20:1)
Psaume 114
English Standard Version
Tremble at the Presence of the Lord
1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, (Gn 42:23; Ex 12:37; Ps 81:5)2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. (Ex 15:17; Ex 25:8; Ps 78:68)3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. (Jos 3:13; Ps 77:16)4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. (Ex 19:18; Ps 18:7; Ps 29:6)5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? (Ha 3:8)6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, (Ps 96:9)8who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water. (Nb 20:11; Dt 8:15; Ps 78:15; Ps 107:35)
