< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
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 hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
