< Psalms 114 >
1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
5 What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
6 [Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
Who turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
