< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
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? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6 All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
