Psalms 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

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

Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
