Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

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

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

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

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

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

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
