Psalms 114

1 When the Israeli [people] left Egypt, when they who were descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a foreign/different language,

When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

2 [the land of] Judah became the place where people worshiped God; and Israel became the land (OR, the [Israeli people] became the people) that he ruled over.

Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

3 [When they came to] the [Red] Sea, [it was as though the water] saw [them] and ran away! When they came to the Jordan [River], that [water in the] river stopped flowing [so that the Israelis could cross it].

The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

4 [When they came to Sinai Mountain and there was a big earthquake], [it was as though] the mountains skipped/jumped like goats do and the hills jumped around like lambs do.

The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

5 [If someone asks], “What happened at the [Red] Sea that caused the water to run away? What happened that caused [the water in] the Jordan [River] to stop flowing?

What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

6 What happened that caused the mountains to skip like goats and caused the hills to jump around like lambs?”

Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

7 [I would reply that] it was the presence of the Lord that caused those things to happen! [Everyone/Everything on] the earth should tremble in the presence of God, whom (Jacob [worshiped]/the Israeli people [worship])!

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

8 He is the one who caused pools of water [for the Israeli people to drink to flow] from a rock; he caused a spring [to flow] from a solid rock cliff!

Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
