Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

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

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

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

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the 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 aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest 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?

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

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

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

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

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
