Psalms 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before 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.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
