< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
בְּצֵ֣את יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַ֝עֲקֹ֗ב מֵעַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז׃
2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
הָיְתָ֣ה יְהוּדָ֣ה לְקָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל מַמְשְׁלֹותָֽיו׃
3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
הַיָּ֣ם רָ֭אָה וַיָּנֹ֑ס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן יִסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֹֽור׃
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
הֶֽ֭הָרִים רָקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָעֹ֗ות כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
מַה־לְּךָ֣ הַ֭יָּם כִּ֣י תָנ֑וּס הַ֝יַּרְדֵּ֗ן תִּסֹּ֥ב לְאָחֹֽור׃
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
הֶֽ֭הָרִים תִּרְקְד֣וּ כְאֵילִ֑ים גְּ֝בָעֹ֗ות כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
מִלִּפְנֵ֣י אָ֭דֹון ח֣וּלִי אָ֑רֶץ מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֱלֹ֣והַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
הַהֹפְכִ֣י הַצּ֣וּר אֲגַם־מָ֑יִם חַ֝לָּמִ֗ישׁ לְמַעְיְנֹו־מָֽיִם׃
