Psalms 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

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

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

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

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

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

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

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

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; 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.

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
