Psalms 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
