< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8 Who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
