Psalms 114

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

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

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

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

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

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

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

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

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

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

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

Tremble, earth, before 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.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.
