Psalms 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, 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 changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
