Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

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

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

5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
