Psalms 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
