< Psalms 114 >

1 At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,
בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵֽז׃
2 the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
הָיְתָה יְהוּדָה לְקׇדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָֽיו׃
3 The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.
הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס הַיַּרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃
4 Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.
הֶהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
5 Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?
מַה־לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס הַיַּרְדֵּן תִּסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃
6 Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?
הֶהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃
7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!
מִלִּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃
8 He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם־מָיִם חַלָּמִישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ־מָֽיִם׃
