< 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 people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Eloah of Jacob;
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
