Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

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

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

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
