< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?
7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
