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 foreign language,

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 saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

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

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

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you earth, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
