Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

3 The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.

who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
