Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Tremble, O 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 pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
