Psalms 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

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

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

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

O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
