< 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 people of strange language;
2 Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?
What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?
All of you mountains, that all of you skipped like rams; and all of you little hills, like lambs?
7 At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, 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 changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
