Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
