Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

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

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
