< 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, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
