< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵֽז׃
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
הָיְתָה יְהוּדָה לְקׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָֽיו׃
3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס הַיַּרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃
4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
הֶהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
מַה־לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס הַיַּרְדֵּן תִּסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
הֶהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
מִלִּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃
8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם־מָיִם חַלָּמִישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ־מָֽיִם׃
