< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
