< 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 foreign language;
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 saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Eloah of Jacob;
Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, 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 turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
