< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 What ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
