Psalms 114

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

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] 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 lambs.

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

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled 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 pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
