OET interlinear PSA 114:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בְּ⁠צֵ֣את יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל מִ⁠מִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב מֵ⁠עַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז

(Some words not found in UHB: when,went_out Yisrael from,Egypt house_of Yaakob from,a_people strange_language )

These two phrases When Israel went out from Egypt and the house of Jacob from a people speaking a foreign language mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [When Israel went out from Egypt, that is, the house of Jacob from a people speaking a foreign language]
