Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
