Psalms 114

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
