Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a barbarous people,

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

2 God chose Judah for himself, Israel became his kingdom.

Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled, Jordan river ran backwards.

The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

4 Mountains skipped like rams, hills like the young of the flock.

The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

5 Why, sea, do you flee? Jordan, why run backwards?

What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

6 Mountains, why skip ram-like? Why, hills, like the young of the flock?

Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

7 Earth, tremble before the Lord, at the presence of Jacob’s God,

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

8 who turns rocks into pools of water, and flint into fountains of water.

Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
