Psalms 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

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

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

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

O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
