< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?
O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
