Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

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

2 Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

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

3 The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

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

5 What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

7 Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

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

8 He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.

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