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 a strange language:

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

Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the 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 sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, 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 changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
