< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Tremble, you 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 spring of waters.
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
