< 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 has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns 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] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 Tremble, thou 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!
