Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan 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 aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

Tremble, O earth! 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 a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
