< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.
5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
