< 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 strange language;
2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.
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 turnest back?
6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
Tremble, thou 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.
Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
