Psalms 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked 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, the hills skipped like lambs.

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before 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.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
