< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:
2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.
4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?
6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
