Psalms 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

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

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

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

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
