Psalms 114

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

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

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

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 Who changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
