Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;

Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

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

The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

8 Who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
