Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye 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 standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
