Facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus, * Israel potestas ejus.
Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Mare vidit, et fugit: * Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
(The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.)
Montes exultaverunt ut arietes: * et colles sicut agni ovium.
(The mountains skipped like rams: and the hills like the lambs of the flock.)
Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? * et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
(What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee? and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?)
Montes, exultastis sicut arietes? * et colles sicut agni ovium?
(Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and ye hills like the lambs of the flock?)
