Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5 What [ailed] thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6 [Ye] mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and [ye] hills, like lambs?

O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
