Psalms 114

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

Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.

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

The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.

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

The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.

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

What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?

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

What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?

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

Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.

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

He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
