Psalms 114

1 Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

5 What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

6 [You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

7 The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
