Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

When Israel [God prevails] went out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], the house of Jacob [Supplanter] from a people of foreign language;

2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Judah [Praised] became his sanctuary, Israel [God prevails] his dominion.

3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan [Descender] 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 [Descender], 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 the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of 'Adon [Lord], at the presence of the God of Jacob [Supplanter],

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.
