< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.
5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven 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 little hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, 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 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
