Psalms 114

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

When Israel came 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 turned backward.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

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 backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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.
