Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, 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 was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

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

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

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

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn 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?

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

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

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

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

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