Psalms 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign 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 was driven back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

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

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

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

Tremble, you 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 spring of waters.
