< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
The mountains skipped like rams, 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 ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
